| When Sy Montgomery opened her heart to a sick piglet she had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish. The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch. |

| A family founders after a mother's death in this beautifully
observed debut.
Cheryl Strayed has a deep appreciation for the shifting rhythms
between siblings and parents and for the beautiful terrors of
learning how to keep living. The wonderful characters in Torch come
alive and stay with you long after the novel ends. |
