The Penny / Joyce Meyer and Deborah Bedford / 388 pages / St. Louis Challenge

Jenny Blake lives in 1955 St. Louis with a father who sexually, physically, and psychologically abuses her and her sister Jean.  One day on the way to the Fox Theater to watch Grace Kelly in "Rear Window", she spies a penny embedded in the asphalt street.  Bending to pick it up results in a chain reaction of events that forever changes her life.  As Jenny continues finding pennies, she gives them away to everybody because she wants to help people the same way God kept helping her. To say The Penny is inspiring would be a gross understatement.  I highly recommend this one as example to all of us to end all forms of discrimination.

"Hurt people are the ones who hurt people."
