LEARNING TO SWIM - Crown Books, February 2011

If I blinked, I would have missed it.

But I didn’t, and I saw something fall from the rear deck of the other ferry. It could have been a bundle of trash; it could have been a child-size doll. Either was more likely than what I thought I saw: a small wide‑eyed human face, in one tiny frozen moment as it plummeted toward the water. -beginning of LEARNING TO SWIM

QUOTES ABOUT THE BOOK

Learning To Swim is a gut-wrenching, heart-thumping twist of the knife. A compelling tale of mystery’s holy trinity: love, loss, and betrayal. Take the plunge. - Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award-winning author of the Moe Prager series, co-author of Tower, and author of Innocent Monster.

Learning to Swim is a thriller of the most thrilling kind, a smart and crafty story with whiffs of Rebecca, that insists from the first sentence that you sit down and not stand up again until you've read the last word. Tell your loved ones to take care of themselves. - Quinn Cummings, author of Notes from the Underwire and Academy Award-nominated actress

From its shocking opening to its stunning conclusion, Learning to Swim is a frightening ride. Sara J. Henry will quite literally take your breath away. - J.T. Ellison , author of The Immortals and The Cold Room

A book that does not disappoint. With a strong believable cast of characters and a breathtaking plot, it's a non-stop thrilling ride that’s impossible to put down. It’s a book full of characters that stay with you and make you want more. - Cat Connor , author of killerbyte and terrorbyte

It should in theory be easy: After all, you learned to write doing the first book, and its many revisions. You developed characters you're bringing back. You have a contract for it, so you don't even have to worry about how or if you'll sell it.

But in fact, what you do is think: How on earth did I do this the first time?
