From the back of the book:
When 6 year old turtle Greer witnesses a freak accident at the Hoover Dam, her insisitence on what she has seen leads to a man's dramatic rescue. A deeply felt novel of love despite the risks, of tearing apart and coming together, Pigs in Heaven travels the roads from rural Kentucky to the urban Southwest, to Heaven, Oklahoma, to the Cherokee nation. As the spellbinding novel unfolds, it draws the reader into a world of heartbreak and redeeming love, testing the boundaries of family and the separate truths about the ties that bind.
I liked it- I can see them making a movie about it.
