Pigs, Pies & Problems

In Lazy Hill, Oklahoma, the biggest scandal usually involves a missing coffee mug and a well-placed prank. Jed and Mabel Hawkins have spent a lifetime perfecting the art of playful one-upmanship on their family farm-until a special-delivery letter from a city law office turns their quiet, ordinary life upside down.

Jed's eccentric Uncle Silas has left them an inheritance, and word travels fast in a town where everybody already knows everybody's business. Word travels fastest of all to Hank Thompson, Mabel's smooth-talking, work-allergic brother, who shows up in a borrowed Cadillac with big plans and zero intention of ever leaving anytime soon.

As Lazy Hill gears up for its annual Heritage Festival-complete with a chaotic pig parade, a bake-off no judge is prepared for, and a town orchestra that can't quite agree on the same song-Hank's schemes grow bolder, and the gap between what he wants and what he is willing to do to get it grows a little more dangerous with every passing day.

What starts as small-town mischief and pie-tin rivalries builds toward something no one in Lazy Hill sees coming-a turn that will test the town's spirit, reveal what Jed and Mabel truly valued, and ask the people of Lazy Hill just how far they're willing to go to honor a legacy of community, forgiveness, and love.

Pigs, Pies & Problems is a warm, funny, and ultimately moving small-town story about family, greed, and the surprising strength of a community that simply refuses to give up on its own.
