Publisher's Summary
Unlikely pig owners Steve and Derek got a whole lot more than they bargained for when the designer micropiglet they adopted turned out to be a full-sized 600-pound sow! In the best-selling tradition of pet memoirs such as Oogy, Dewey, and Giant George, the story of Esther the Wonder Pig shows how families really do come in all shapes and sizes.
In the summer of 2012, Steve Jenkins was contacted by an old friend about adopting a micropiglet. Though he knew his partner, Derek, wouldn't be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could care for her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek's lives forever.
It turned out there was nothing "micro" about Esther, and Steve and Derek had actually signed on to raise a full-size commercial pig. Within three years tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds. After some real growing pains and a lot of pig-size messes, it became clear that Esther needed much more space, so Steve and Derek made another life-changing decision: They bought a farm and opened the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, where they could care for Esther and other animals in need.
Funny, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Esther the Wonder Pig follows Steve and Derek's adventure - from reluctant pig parents to farm-owning advocates for animals.

Pure Delight!
An amazing story that will tug at your heart strings and remind all of us that dreams really do come true.
Excellent narration by daddy Steve, I could clearly picture everything they were going through, and I could also picture, Esther's big pink rump running around the house, I can't wait for the second book. I love all of you. :)

Esther The Wonder Pig is a must read!!
Because I follow Esther on FB I had to give this a listen! I loved it so much and the story of Two Guys and a Pig told in their own voice makes it even more enjoyable. There are several times that I could tell Steve was near tears while reading the book. I highly recommend and can't wait for the next book.
