Review of 'Pigs in Heaven'

Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver

A few years ago, Taylor found a child in her car and adopted her (through dubious methods). Now a lawyer representing the Cheroke people have expressed a desire to have Turtle back. Taylor, aided by her recently separated mother, Alice, panics and starts a trip around the US attempting to find a solution to this problem. An interesting exploration into Native American culture (both historic and contemporary) at odds (or is it?) with a mother's love for a child. Well written and extremely fascinating.
