Description
Pigs in Heaven is a spellbinding novel of heartbreak and love, set against the backdrop of a complex web of family and history. When six-year-old Turtle Greer witnesses a freak accident at the Hoover Dam, her insistence on what she has seen, and her mother's belief in her, lead to a man's dramatic rescue.
The crisis that unfolds quickly envelops not only Turtle and her mother, Taylor, but everyone else who touches their lives, connecting their future with their past. As the story travels from rural Kentucky to the urban Southwest, and finally to the Cherokee Nation, it tests the boundaries of family and the many separate truths about the ties that bind.
This powerful and moving novel explores the intricate relationships between people, and the ways in which the past can shape our present. With its rich and evocative prose, Pigs in Heaven is a compelling and emotional read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
