“The Candle”
“The Candle” is a bonus scene available exclusively to members of the Linda & Joan Mailing List. You can join below for free.
This short experience is based on a poem that the real Linda Quinn wrote in the winter of 2004.
Linda had a large candle by her fireplace for years. She would light it on December 26th each year to mark the day that her husband, Richard, passed away. Richard died a few months before their son, Russell, was born.
