Excerpt
Remember when you were a kid and going to the candy store was as though you had died and gone to heaven? Imagine having a career in a candy store. All around you sit scrumptious edible delights just waiting to be unwrapped and devoured. Chocolate, taffy, jelly beans, hard candy, popcorn, custard, and many other delectable treats surround you as you walk into the store. The wonderful aromas fill the air and make you want to taste everything in sight. If you happen to walk into a candy store at a holiday time, you might be lucky enough to revel in the presence of colorful candy canes, giant chocolate Easter bunnies, and huge hearts filled with titillating chocolates for special sweethearts. Bob Pacer is lucky enough to experience these sensual joys because he is a true candy man. As the general manager of Oliver's Candies in Batavia, New York, he is able to enjoy all the perks and embrace the responsibilities involved in running a small town candy business with not-so-small dealings.
