Good Intentions – A novel by Patria L. Dunn (Patria Dunn-Rowe)
Delia Landry made a promise to her dying husband that she would raise their son to follow in his footsteps, and for the last seven years she's done just that. Justus is everything they'd ever hoped for in a son: star quarterback of the Lexington Titans football team, he has one more semester of high school before his mother's promise to his father is fulfilled.
One night and one big mistake later, Delia finds herself making the ultimate sacrifice to save her only child. "Love bears all things. Believes all things. Hopes all things. Endures all things. Love. NEVER. Fails." But when Delia's decision leaves her facing certain death, Justus must decide if he can live the rest of his life as a coward, or become the man his father wanted him to be.
