Candace Cahill

The Author

For years, I told myself I’d write a book someday. When my husband asked, “Why wait?” the someday became today. As a first mother and late-discovery step-adoptee, I write to explore the spaces between belonging and loss, adventure and home.

The Silversmith

My craft was born in Taxco, Mexico, under the tutelage of the Garduno family. What began in 1997 with a propane torch in an Arctic entry has grown into Thomas Cahill Designs—a 30-year legacy of handcrafted art inspired by the Alaskan spirit.

The Renaissance Woman

I don’t believe in staying in one lane. I’m a Social Worker by trade, a Denali bus driver by season, and a multi-instrumentalist by heart. From welding to sewing to navigating the open road on a motorcycle, I believe every skill we acquire enriches the next.
