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.
