What if one decision could alter the entire course of your life?
At sixteen, Megan O’Brien thought she had everything mapped out: dreams of becoming a gaming developer, the thrill of first love, and a future she could almost touch. But when one life-changing choice turns her world upside down, she finds herself navigating silence at home, judgment from friends, and a storm of emotions she never imagined she’d face.
Her search for answers leads her to St. Mary’s Home for Unwed Mothers, where difficult options loom—parenting, adoption, or abortion. None of them feel simple, and every path carries a weight she isn’t sure she can bear.
Just when Megan feels completely lost, Marcus Glynn enters her life. With his quiet kindness and easy smile, he offers friendship at a time she needs it most. But even with Marcus by her side, Megan must find the courage to redefine her dreams and carve out a future that feels true to herself.
Paper Hearts is an emotional, heartwarming coming-of-age story about the power of family, the sting of loss, and the bravery it takes to choose hope when the odds feel stacked against you.
For readers who love clean contemporary romance with a deeply emotional core, this story will speak to your heart.
Because sometimes the hardest choices lead us to the truest parts of ourselves.
