Publishers Weekly Speaks Up

A friend just sent me this review of my novel from Publishers Weekly (I've left out several sentences in the middle that tell some pivotal details, and a confusing one at the end, for those who prefer to find out things as they read):

Sara J. Henry, Crown, $24 (304p) ISBN 978-0-307-71838-9
Freelance writer Troy Chance, the protagonist of Henry's impressive first novel, impulsively, and literally, dives into trouble when she sees a youngster fall from a ferry boat on Lake Champlain. Troy manages to rescue the boy, discovers that his fall was no accident, and after brief, anonymous reports to the police, embarks on an ill-conceived attempt to become the boy's protector. ... Henry adroitly handles Troy's exposure to new emotions as she re-examines her life and relationships .... (Feb.)

I'll admit I'm somewhat amazed that people are "getting" this book, which I think is a bit quirky and in a sense straddles genres - sort of suspense, sort of thriller, sort of, well, just a novel. And PS, no, the journey's not over - a sequel comes out in 2012.
