Hearts and Bones

First love. Lasting loss. A lifetime shaped in between.

Maya is a freshman in 1989 when she meets Peter, a vulnerable boy with a secret behind his smile. Their romance begins in the thrill of independence but soon collides with the realities of mental illness, betrayal, and the fragility of youth. Years later, as a third-year medical student, Maya is haunted by memories of that love-and the choices she made along the way.

Navigating the weight of her mother’s decline, the demands of medicine, and the lingering echoes of Peter’s unraveling, Maya faces a reckoning with her own complicated past. But amid the heartbreak are glimmers of connection, forgiveness, and the quiet hope of a new beginning.

Spanning nearly a decade, Hearts and Bones is a poignant tale of love, loss, and becoming. It’s a story about how the people we love never really leave us and how the choices we make in our formative years reverberate throughout our lives.
