Maybe Sarah shouldn't have taken that dare. Maybe she shouldn't have bragged that she could swim across the lake. None of that mattered now. She was drowning.
When an annual trip to Sweetwater Lake turns into a near tragedy, twelve-year-old Sarah Oakley forges an unlikely friendship that just might help her discover her true worth. If only she can stay afloat.
