Candis Trusty’s childhood was idyllic, as if ripped out of an old black-and-white show on the TV Land channel. Her parents, grandparents (on both sides) and great-grandparents lived on the same stretch of curved road in rural Virginia, where cellphone services is intermittent even today. She met her husband at age 10. He was the neighbor boy who would eat at her house because his mom didn’t cook very well. The two have been married for decades, and she’s never even been on a date with anybody else.
The gravitation toward continuity persisted when the couple moved down to Miami after she graduated from law school at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where she also went as an undergraduate.
