Produktbeschreibung

"It's a name I chose because I am never really sure of anything or anyone, especially myself." So says Penny Maybe, a vulnerable but gutsy teenager who has spent most of her life in and out of foster care. As the story opens, Penny is on the threshold of what promises to be yet other tragedy. She's been placed in a foster home with a warring couple and has fallen in love with a young boy who is certain to reject her. Undeterred, Penny salvages her spirit by focusing on an impossible challenge: swiming Lake Ontario.

In this accomplished and highly original novel, readers will find themselves cheering on Penny as she struggles to meet both the challenges of the lake and of life itself.
