Our best intentions : a novel / Vibhuti Jain.

Jain, Vibhuti, (author.).

Summary:

Babur "Bobby" Singh, single parent and owner of fledging Uber business "Move with Bobby," remains ever hopeful about ascending the ladder of American success. He lives in an affluent suburb of New York with his daughter Angie. During summer break, Angie is walking home after training when she finds Henry McCleary, a classmate from a wealthy, prominent family, stabbed and bleeding on the football field. The police immediately focus their investigation on Chiara Thompkins, a runaway Black girl who disappears after the stabbing. The incident sends shock waves through the community and reveals jarring truths about the lengths to which families will go to protect themselves. Meanwhile, Babur's painstaking efforts to shield Angie and protect his hard-earned efforts to assimilate overshadow his ability to see right from wrong.
