Book: Home is a Roof over a Pig by Aminta Arrington

Aminta, mother of four, decided to adopt a Chinese baby with the support of her husband Chris. The Chinese baby opended the door of her heart to learn more about China, its people, language and culture. When her husband retired from his military career, the couple left the two older college boys in the States and took the three younger ones to China and started a teaching career in Tai'an, Shandong Province. Her fascination with the Chinese characters and the stories behind them become the themes of the carefully crafted chapters that are full of the witty and authentic accounts of their daily lives in a small Chinese city. At times you would be prompted to laugh and at times your eyes would be filled with tears by such an amazing Chinese mom, as she calls herself,  who is God loving, intelligent, intellectual, passionate, and full of humanity. www.amintaarrington.com.
