Her neighborhood is becoming more of a ghost town each day since the lard company moved away. Even her school closed down. Her familys bakery and the other surviving businesses may soon follow. As a last resort  the neighborhood grown-ups enlist all the remaining able-bodied boys and girls into this scheme in hopes of luring visitors. Maybe their neighbors will come back too. But somethings not right about the entrepreneur behind it all. And then theres the new boy who came to help. The one with the softest of lips. Pig Park is a contemporary Faustian tale that forces us to look at the desperate lengths people will go to in the name of community--and maybe love. Claudia Guadalupe Martinez  author of the award-winning The Smell of Old Lady Perfume  has long been distressed about how the global economy is displacing workers and families.
