Philadelphia-Based Novel Fumbled Your Heart Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary with Special Edition Release
PHILADELPHIA, PA — Ten years after its original debut, the novel Fumbled Your Heart returns in a 10th Anniversary Edition, reaffirming its message of love, faith, and healing, while centering Philadelphia as the emotional and moral heart of the story. While much of the plot unfolds in New York, the characters’ identities, values, and resilience are deeply rooted in their Philly upbringing, making this a story that belongs to the city as much as to its readers.
“I wanted to write a story that revealed the heart of Philadelphia through the eyes of teenagers who refuse to let stereotypes define their city,” says Mya Kay. “For them, the love and lessons gained from relationships and family matter far more than the negative narratives often portrayed in the media.”
The novel follows Jezzy Watson and Trent Rucker, childhood friends turned high school sweethearts whose lives diverge after a prom-night heartbreak. Jezzy grows into a top sports agent, and Trent becomes a star athlete for the New York Giants. When their paths cross again ten years later, they are forced to confront unresolved pain, hidden trauma, and the possibility of forgiveness.
“My prayer is that readers see the ‘Jezzy’ and ‘Trent’ in their own lives,” the author adds. “The young man who may come from a two-parent household yet still craves emotional support, and the young woman who has endured trauma and is searching for healing. Their Philly roots shape who they are, how they love, and how they fight for their faith and future—even when life takes them to New York.”
The 10th Anniversary Edition, releasing Saturday, February 14th, includes a newly added foreword reflecting on the novel’s decade-long journey and its continued relevance today. This edition marks the third and final introduction of beloved characters Jezzy and Trent to readers.
Originally released on February 11th, 2016, Fumbled Your Heart continues to resonate with readers drawn to stories rooted in faith, emotional accountability, and honest portrayals of love and loss.
The 10th Anniversary Edition will be available on Amazon and on the author’s website www.writermya.com beginning February 14th.
