    Publisher's Synopsis

    When Aminta Arrington moves with her husband and three young children (including a daughter adopted from China) from suburban Georgia to Tai'an, a city where donkeys share the road with cars, the family is bewildered by seemingly endless cultural differences large and small. But with the help of new friends, they soon find their way. Full of humor and unexpectedly moving moments, Home is a Roof Over a Pig recounts a transformative quest with a freshness that will delight.
