Award-winning screenwriter Nannette has released her first young adult novel, 'Bad Intentions', a compelling narrative that follows protagonist Kayla through a transformative and perilous experience. The story begins with Kayla's dramatic fall from a privileged lifestyle after being cast out by her parents due to a friend's mistake.
Forced into an unfamiliar world of survival, Kayla finds herself at a shelter where she encounters Ms. Tilda, an older woman who provides her and her friends unexpected sanctuary and employment at a local bar. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when Kayla witnesses a murder and decides to investigate the crime, setting herself on a dangerous path.
The novel promises a gripping exploration of resilience, friendship, and the consequences of pursuing justice. By placing a young protagonist in extraordinary circumstances, Nannette crafts a narrative that likely speaks to themes of personal growth, survival, and the complexities of making difficult choices.
While the book appears to be a mystery, it also seems to delve into broader social issues such as youth vulnerability, support systems, and personal agency. The story's potential appeal lies in its nuanced portrayal of a young woman navigating challenging circumstances and taking significant personal risks.
