Product Description
by Kathleen Rawlings Buntin (Author)
In 1962, author Kathleen Rawlings Buntin and her husband, Carmon, got married for all the right reasons. She liked his eyes, he liked the way she looked in a sweater, and they both liked tacos. In The Pig in the Kitchen, Buntin narrates how she married a modern-day Huckleberry Finn, a man who was perpetually twelve going on forty-two. She tells how she, as a city girl, spent most of her life on a minifarm in Arizona. Sharing stories from twenty years of her life in a veritable petting zoo, Buntin introduces Tanya, the gun-shy bird dog; Dot, the tail-swatting milk cow; Arnold, the pig in the kitchen; and dozens of other animals, domesticated and otherwise. Erma Bombeck once said, There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt. The Pig in the Kitchen walks that thin line with compassion and grace and a lot more humor than hurt as one family experiences twenty years of love, laughter, and animals.
