Pigs in Heaven

Pigs in Heaven is the sequel to The Bean Trees, continuing the story of Taylor Greer and her adopted daughter, Turtle. While on a trip to the Hoover Dam, Turtle appears on television, which draws the attention of Annawake Fourkiller, an attorney for the Cherokee Nation. Since Turtle is a member of the tribe and her adoption was never formalized by tribal law, Annawake begins a legal pursuit to bring Turtle back to the Nation for the child's own good and to connect her to her Cherokee heritage. Fearful of losing her daughter, Taylor flees with Turtle. The two embark on a desperate journey across the country, later joined by Taylor's mother, Alice Greer, as they navigate the complexities of family, cultural identity, and the meaning of home.
