The Pie Man
The Pie Man is the original version of Redemption Mountain, which was published in 2009 as a print-on-demand book through Booklocker.com - a POD publisher that I can highly recommend.
The Pie Man was read and recommended by a great many readers, leading to its "discovery" by a bookstore owner, a recommendation to her St. Martin's Press representative, and a publishing offer from SMP, and then from Henry Holt and Company.
The original version was edited extensively and shortened. The title was changed to avoid confusion between the two books.

About the author
Gerry FitzGerald
11 books9 followersFor the last thirty years, I've owned my own advertising agency in Springfield, Massachusetts, a wonderful city in a great state in the nicest part of the country.
I live in East Longmeadow, a soot-stained little mining town just outside Springfield, with my wife Robin, an elementary school teacher. My son is a doctor in his first year of residency at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT (which he loves). My daughter just graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University - which she loved attending.
Many years ago, I graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University with an MSJ, and the University of Massachusetts in Amherst with a degree in marketing.
Many, many years ago, I served in the USArmy and spent 1970 in Vietnam.
I am on the adjunct faculty of a wonderful school called Western New England University, and teach an advertising course that students literally fight over to get into.
I love tennis, golf, cigars, all UMass sports,(particularly lacrosse), and of course the Bruins, Patriots, etc.
And I wrote a book. And now I'm writing another one (a novel about mountain climbing), which is what I now enjoy most!

I read this book before I joined GoodReads. It is one of the best books I have ever read. A story that sticks with you, long after you have closed the pages. Knowing the author (he was my former work partner) made it even better!
