Bestselling novelist Jimmy Buffett has been making up stories all his life. (The dog ate his homework, and that new tattoo was somebody else's fault.) Now fiction's favorite pirate spins a colorful novel about a Southern family determined to hide their pet pig in a fancy four-star hotel in New York City -- while a meat-loving chef is sharpening his carving knife downstairs.

Come along as master storyteller Jimmy Buffett presents a gumbo of captivating characters and outrageous events in this wonderfully entertaining pig tale -- proving once again that stretching the truth is a lot of fun, and laughing is the best vacation of all.
