One choice can change your life forever. At sixteen, Megan O'Brien's life is on a smooth, flat track to Destiny. Her dreams of becoming a gaming developer are within reach, and she's fallen hard for the handsome and charming Donovan. When everything changes, she is shunned by her friends and navigating the strained silence in her own home. Megan is lost in a spiral of shame and despair. A visit to St. Mary's Home for Unwed Mothers is meant to clarify her options-parenting, adoption, or abortion-but it only deepens her conflict. Just as she hits rock bottom, she meets Marcus Glynn, a boy whose quiet kindness and crooked smile offer an unexpected friendship. Can she find the strength to redefine her dreams and build a new future? Or will she sacrifice one part of herself to save another? Paper Hearts is a moving and wholesome contemporary romance about the overwhelming weight of teenage choices, the enduring power of family, and the quiet courage it takes to forge a new destiny.
