About this listen

For the first time in his life, Pete has everything to lose.

After years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass—a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him.

Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face—literally—and up to her ears in meddling.

When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay.

"Katie Powner brings both humor and heft to the page as she celebrates simple pleasures and not-so-simple love."—JULIE CANTRELL, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

Amazing book, this author doesn't disappoint!

I love all the thus author's books and this one will not disappoint!

The character's are real, flawed, and the story is full of great themes! Themes of regret, not being enough, worthlessness, are woven together with forgiveness, and redemption through the characters and plot.

Add in a few funny pets, and you will be hooked!
I enjoyed the narration on this audiobook, it sets the tone of the book and characters nicely!

Beautiful and Heartfelt

A touching story of a man who finds peace in life after a childhood spent in foster care. Relatable, genuine and clear eyed.
