What is it with pigs this year? Several books I have read with pigs in them...
Ruby Clyde Henderson has had an unconventional life. Her father was shot right before she was born. Her mother, who is not so great at coping, has taken up with a shady character named Carl. In the middle of the night the left their homes for his dream of Hollywood. On the way they steal a pig from a local "zoo" and then Carl decided to rob a gas station. He was caught and Ruby's mother was also accused. Ruby who had been hiding during the robbery has no idea what to do. She decides to find her Aunt Eleanor, her mom's estranged twin who is a nun. There Ruby finds a new family and learns to trust again. But what will happen if her mom is convicted?
I thought this was actually pretty good. I was a bit confused at the ending because I thought the lawyer was in the dark - must have missed something in my speedy reading.
