The Honeydrop Tree: a novelette

by Matthew S. Rosin

Overview

The lost community of Apistown trades honey with the outside world to survive. But its children do not know where the honored honey comes from—nor about the guilt the town must bear.

One night, Amelia, Isaac, and Cassie dream of a great tree. Honey seeps through the tree’s fruit and falls to waiting vessels below.

Could this be Apistown’s lifeblood? Is such a tree possible?

The three friends set out to learn the truth. And their parents, guided by three mysterious matrons, must choose: protect their children or keep faith with the community.

The truth will transform them all.

About the Author

I’m a dad, husband, author, and composer based in the Bay Area, California. Once upon a time, I was an education thinker and policy wonk. (I hold a Ph.D. in Education.) Nowadays, my passion for understanding how people learn and grow runs through my creative work and family life. I write fiction of a literary and often magical-realist bent. I published my first novelette, The Honeydrop Tree, in 2015, and my short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in KYSO Flash, r.kv.r.y. quarterly, and Shotgun Honey. I also write about fatherhood and how it changes me, including my Reflections On Fatherhood podcast and pieces in STAND Magazine and the On Being blog.
