Jenny Blake has a theory about life: big decisions often
don't amount to much, but little decisions sometimes transform
everything. Her
theory proves true the summer she's 14, when she makes the decision to
pick up
a penny embedded in asphalt and consequently ends up stopping a robbery,
getting a job, and meeting someone who changes her life forever-Miss
Shaw.
Together they form a friendship that dares both of them to confront
secrets in
their pasts-secrets that threaten to destroy them. Jenny helps Miss Shaw
open
up to the community around her, while Miss Shaw teaches Jenny to meet
even
life's most painful
challenges with confidence and faith. This unexpected relationship
transforms
them both in ways neither could have anticipated, and the ripple effect
that
begins that summer goes on to bring new life to the people around them,
revealing how God works in the smallest details-even in something as
small as
THE PENNY.
