Pieman: The Papa D Story by June V. Bourgo & Dennis Bourgo

In a memoir full of charm and grit, Pieman: The Papa D Story, June V. Bourgo and Dennis Bourgo relay their story of how Dennis – aka Papa D – built his meat pie business at the end of a dirt road, with June’s love and support. On the coast of British Columbia, the Bourgos found a rural piece of land and undertook the painstaking process of creating the wildly successful Papa D’s Comfort Foods, featuring his Nana’s recipe. Although the book’s focus is often disrupted by free association and digressions, readers will be drawn in by the authors’ easy, conversational style and celebrate the Bourgos’ risk-taking, resilience, and steadfast belief in their dreams, making their memoir both instructive and inspiring.
