Hey guys, its Sarah and I’m reading “LEARN TO SWIM” by Sara J. Henry. The protagonist of this book is Tracy Chance, The character is fairly straightforward. She doesn't spend a lot of time sitting in cafes thinking, flashing back to things that happened in her childhood or flashing forward to some dramatic event around which the rest of the story is framed when she sees something happen, gets involved. However she is not an outstanding woman, Troy Chance is a physically fit young woman who makes an independent living as a freelance writer in Lake Placid, New York. While traveling on the Lake Champlain ferry from Burlington, Vermont to Port Kent, New York she is watching another ferry pass by in the opposite direction when she sees something drop from the other ferry's deck into the water that she suspects is a child. Making a split-second life-defining decision, she dives into the water, pulls the child to the surface, and swims to shore. No one witnesses the rescue, and Troy's adventure begins: with a child who apparently speaks only French and for who no one seems to be looking. The ensuing tale involves kidnapping, ransom and murder, and in her pursuit of the perpetrators Troy proves resourceful and persistent, though also at times alarmingly naive

Since I am just at page 61 of 374 at chapter 9 of 50 I haven’t meet a lot of characters yet just few friends of Tracy and I definitely haven’t meet the antagonist yet, although at this point there are some suspects (in this case the father of the child she founded). Yet the antagonist is the one, whoever it is, is the one who threw the little boy in the lake from the ferry after ting his arms in a sweat shirt.
