Synopsis

Description:
Mia Carter was a college freshman with a generous heart and a perfectly thought-out plan: sponsor two siblings through school, watch them thrive, feel good about it. The math made sense. The cause felt real. She'd seen it with her own eyes.

Four years later, she stood outside a brand-new two-story house she'd unknowingly helped pay for, watching the girl she'd been funding set off fireworks in the street.

She wasn't the only one.

Ethan Reeves — a young academic who'd spent six years sending nearly his entire salary to the same family — had no idea Mia existed. Together, they'd been played by someone who had turned systematic deception into a full-time job.

*Too Kind for My Own Good* is a smart, satisfying story about how kindness without discernment gets exploited — and what happens when two good people finally decide to fight back.

Being good is not enough. You also have to be smart.

    One woman's path to rediscovering herself through music, romance, and a little vigilantism 
     
     
     
    Inside Half Moon Bay, a sparkling California coastal town, Ester Prynn is dulled and diminished by struggles with work, money, marriage, her senile father, a troubled teenage son, and old guilt she can't assuage. When a masked gunman robs the convenience store where Ester works, he upends her fraught life and propels her toward passions buried, like singing; desires discovered, like a same-sex infatuation; and wrongs righted, like bringing the violent assailant to justice. But as the armed robber commits new crimes and continues to evade capture, the trauma from the holdup climbs, threatening Ester's newfound delights and longings and forcing her to contend with her burning regrets and what-ifs. In the reckoning between Ester and these growing, molten upsets, she's faced with enormous choices and must determine what and who can bring her to her best life.
