Jinny Buffett is lonely…
She’s never had the comfort of a white picket fence with a loving family. Her subsidized apartment in Hollywood Florida echoes with the void of her dead Daddy, and the nights drag long into twilight while her Mama works the block outside the Margaritaville resort.
It’s idealistic Ms. Fleming, who’s brave enough to come knocking first. She wants to see Jinny rise up and use her ace scores to escape the wheel of poverty, convincing Jinny to start a school book club, where she finds the friends and boyfriend she never knew she needed.
But when her Mama spirals out of control and threatens her entire existence, it’s Jinny’s Everglade ancestors who arrive in a mist of magic, bringing the swamp and hope with them.

All I can say is Oh my God My Heart is Hurting gave me so many different emotions and I don't think I will ever forget the wonderfully written character of Jinny Buffet who was an amazing main character and I was literally praying that she would finally be happy.
I loved S E 's writing style she was able to cover such serious subjects in such a way the reader was able to see the reasons why Jinny was the way she was but oh boy the near to the ending i may of needed some attention as my mouth literally dropped to the floor.
I would love a sequel oh pretty please to see how Jinny is doing.
For all the above reasons My Heart is Hurting receives 5 big massive stars
