them without words, a remarkable thing happened—that
silence created an internal, safe space for me to float with
memories, helping me work through my own grief and
understand and accept life as it is.” A memoir–where animals, farm and nature show the way through loss.Katherine Dunn/Apifera Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992031770736061288noreply@blogger.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847981181012181362.post-83035865768815645912014-06-03T13:30:00.001-07:002018-12-27T07:11:04.876-08:00Purchase the bookVisit the shop to purchase the book.

I just got a phone call–and how nice to be individually called by phone–letting me know that this art series from "Misfits of Love" Healing Conversations in the Barnyard was selected to be in the annual exhibit and award annual in the Book category of the Society of Illustrators.

An illustrated journey of one woman as she grapples with the death of her father. At her side were the Misfits she had adopted into her small farm's barnyard–a grumpy pig, and old donkey, handicapped goats and one very special elderly goat named Old Man Guinnias.
As she cared or hospiced these creatures, she was able to have her own internal conversations with each–helping her understand theirKatherine Dunn/Apifera Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992031770736061288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847981181012181362.post-71754955419649548642013-10-24T19:13:00.000-07:002013-11-26T11:11:54.074-08:00Table of Contents
