N2  - "Anyone worried that life in a small town could get boring certainly hasn't lived in Henry Adams: With a pig on trial, the town's foster children still trying to find their place, and new love blossoming...there is plenty to occupy our favorite residents. Preston Miles is the only one of the original foster children with no information about his biological family, but an email from his maternal grandmother will change that. Former town mayor, Riley Curry is convinced his pet hog Cletus acted in self-defense when he sat on and killed Morton Prell, and it's Riley's plan to prove that in a court of law"--Provided by publisher
