The Penny (2009)

Cast and Crew

Story

Jenny Blake is a remarkable young girl with a dark family secret. In an attempt to escape her abusive home for a few brief moments, Jenny stumbles upon something that will change her life forever-a single penny. When Jenny picks up the dirty coin, she sets in motion a mysterious chain of events that leads her from the darkness of her home and into the light of a new life. In the segregated south of the 1950s, Jenny's forbidden and unlikely friendships with a young black girl and an older woman with a secretive past give Jenny the courage to stand up to the terror in her own home. The Penny is a touching story that resembles the life and struggles of author Joyce Meyer and reminds us that greatness is often found in the most insignificant places.
