Book Cover & Preview Text
Oink’s eyes widened as he recognized that voice. He held his breath and couldn’t move. His eyes started to water with so much mixed emotion. He was filled with anger, joy, hate, and love all at the same time! In an instant, it all came to together. Every word ever spoken and every question in the past finally made sense. They sat in silence until Oink finally forced words out of his mouth. He was filled with so much conflict. He was burning inside and yet filled with joy to have finally met his lifelong friend.
“What’s your real name?” asked Oink in a shaky voice.
“Mortimer. I’m Mortimer,” answered Moo hopefully.
Oink answered quickly. “I’m Earl.”
