Learning to Swim

A mysterious and suspenseful story that will move and disturb you to the very end

When she sees what looks like a child tumbling from a ferry into frigid Lake Champlain, Troy Chance dives in without thinking. When she gets the child to shore she discovers that his name is Paul, he speaks only French—and no one is looking for him.

Her determination to protect Paul pulls Troy from her quiet life as a writer in a small Adirondack town into an unfamiliar world of wealth and privilege in Canada and then in Vermont. Her attachment to him—and the danger she faces when she tries to unravel the mystery of his abandonment—force her to evaluate everything she thought true about herself.

The first book featuring the unforgettable Troy Chance, Sara J. Henry’s riveting, award-winning debut will keep you engrossed right up to its shattering conclusion.
