“If I’d blinked, I would have missed it. But I didn’t, and I
saw something fall from the rear deck of the opposite ferry:
a small, wide-eyed human face, in one tiny frozen moment, as
it plummeted toward the water.” When she witnesses a small child tumbling from a ferry into
Lake Champlain, Troy Chance dives in without thinking.
Harrowing moments later, she bobs to the surface, pulling a
terrified little boy with her. As the ferry disappears into
the distance, she begins a bone-chilling swim nearly a mile
to shore with a tiny passenger on her back. Surprisingly, he speaks only French. He’ll acknowledge that
his name is Paul; otherwise, he’s resolutely mute. Troy assumes that Paul’s frantic parents will be in touch
with the police or the press. But what follows is a shocking
and deafening silence. And Troy, a freelance writer, finds
herself as fiercely determined to protect Paul as she is to
find out what happened to him. What she uncovers will take
her into a world of wealth and privilege and heedless
self-indulgence—a world in which the murder of a child is
not unthinkable. She’ll need skill and courage to survive
and protect her charge and herself. Sara J. Henry’s powerful and compelling Learning to
Swim will move and disturb readers right up to its
shattering conclusion.
