An unexpected arrival changes everything in David A. Tester's inspiring new memoir, Angels in the Pigpen.
David is a small town minister whose world is turned upside down by the arrival of an injured piglet at his door.
He and his family soon fall in love with "Wilbur," who becomes more and more a part of the family as he gets older.
The bigger he gets, however, the harder it becomes for David to feed and control his rambunctious pet-and finally the local government orders Wilbur out.
Heartsick at the loss of their cherished pig, the Tester family's hope is revived when David is invited to minister in another town. After receiving approval to bring Wilbur along, the reunited family starts a new adventure in a new city.
Readers are sure to laugh along with the wild adventures and hilarious mischief Wilbur gets into-from rolling around in a neighbor's perfectly landscaped lawn to having local policemen search all over town after he escapes his pen and makes a run for it.
Above all, Angels in the Pigpen beautifully reflects on the unexpected blessings that can come from the most surprising sources.
