Autorenporträt
John Jackson, born in Gary, Indiana in 1946, always dreamed of writing a book about his childhood experiences on his grandparents' farm in Nunica, Michigan. They raised both cattle and pigs, but it was the pigs that captured his heart, especially one unforgettable pig named Bacon.Bacon wasn't just any pig, he was a pet. As smart as a dog and incredibly affectionate, he would nuzzle up to you, patiently waiting to be petted. He was gentle, friendly, and kind to his fellow pigs, a truly remarkable animal.While the story has been creatively embellished to form a work of fiction, it remains deeply rooted in the real-life memories and heartfelt moments John experienced on that Michigan farm.
