Sibling rivalry, rock-bottom poverty, feral male chauvinism, sex in the hayloft: everything seemed--and was -- out of control. In telling her wayward family tale, Peppe manages deadpan humor, an unerring eye for the absurd, and poignant compassion for her utterly overwhelmed parents. While her feisty resilience and candor will inevitably remind readers of Jeannette Walls or Mary Karr, Peppe's wry insight and moments of tenderness with family and animals are entirely her own. As Richard Hoffman, the author of <i>Half the House: A Memoir</i> puts it: <i>Pigs Can't Swim</i> -- is an unruly, joyous troublemaker of a book.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Helen Peppe</b>, a professional photographer specializing in horses and dogs, lives near Portland, Maine, with her husband, Eric, her children, four dogs, four rescued rabbits, four guinea pigs, and two destructive kittens.
