โIf Iโd blinked, I would have missed it. But I didnโt, 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.โ 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. ย ย ย ย Surprisingly, he speaks only French. Heโll acknowledge that his name is Paul; otherwise, heโs resolutely mute. ย ย ย ย Troy assumes that Paulโs 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-indulgenceโa world in which the murder of a child is not unthinkable. Sheโll need skill and courage to survive and protect her charge and herself.ย ย ย ย ย Sara J. Henryโs powerful and compelling Learning to Swim will move and disturb readers right up to its shattering conclusion.
