My mom gave me Small Change: The Secret Life of Penny Burford by J. Belinda Yandell for Christmas. It takes place in 1965, where Penny, without knowing exactly why, takes a nickel from her husband's pile of change on his dresser. He never does anything with the piles of change he brings home, so she starts quietly taking little bits of change each day. This decision ends up, as the book says, changing "the course of her life--and the lives of untold others."
This was a quick read and a nice story. The beginning was kind of sad to me, but I really liked how things came together in the end. I also liked the thought-provoking theme of the story.
