He Brought Me Cherries, I made Him a Pie



Update: This story turned into a book called "Donkey Dream" {A Love Story of Pie & Farm} and was helped by so many of you through a Kickstarter project. Beautifully printed in traditional off-set with a hard cover and full color art, you can see more and purchase the book now.

The book is fully illustrated and takes on a fable-like quality, transporting the reader to a real but enchanted world where a donkey has pie parties, an old barn speaks and one woman floats out of sadness into the place she is meant to be. 

Before I met Apifera, she was floating, waiting for me. But first I had to meet The Dirt Farmer.

It started with a broken heart back in my homeland of Minneapolis. Who knew then such sadness and emptiness would be filled later by more homemade pie, a little donkey, an old barn and of course, my companion who follows me with a hammer and nails.
