Helen's Quotes "A child's brain is like fly paper that hangs from a barn ceiling: it doesn't get to choose which memories fly away free and which memories stick to death." ― Helen Peppe, Pigs Can't Swim: A Memoir. Those were my first thoughts, coming with a nervous chuckle, after reading Helen Peppe's Pigs Can't Swim: A Memoir. There are scenes of frigid winter trudges, of endless sibling taunts, of lonely, seat-of-her-pants learning. In Peppe's childhood, hunger and confusion mix readily with mud and manure. With everything happening on Helen Peppe's backwoods Maine farm—ferocious sibling rivalry, rock-bottom poverty, feral male chauvinism, sex in the hayloft—life was out of control, even for the animals. Despite the chaos, in telling her family's story, Peppe manages deadpan humor, an unerring eye for the absurd, and a touching compassion for her utterly overwhelmed parents.
