false 911760 7 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. 2294755 12 6 2007 The Penny: A Novel total:345|5:106|4:110|3:96|2:25|1:8| 345 1316 545 123 911760 0446578118 9780446578110 328 113 3.81 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179405988m/911760.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/911760.The_Penny_A_Novel 1 1 false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 30 08:28:49 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 30 17:51:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 911760 0446578118 9780446578110 328 113 3.81 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179405988m/911760.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/911760.The_Penny_A_Novel 4 0 false Mon Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 17:29:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 20:51:25 -0700 2009
