One-Page Summary
Good Intentions is a psychological novel that examines the uncomfortable gap between what people intend to do and what their actions actually produce. The title is deliberately reassuring, which makes it an effective frame for a story in which respectable motives may have damaging consequences. People often judge themselves by what they meant, while others have to live with what actually happened. That tension creates conflict in relationships, especially when characters begin using “good intentions” as a defense against responsibility. The result is a contemporary character study about family, guilt, control, and the stories people tell themselves in order to remain convinced they are good people.
