About this listen

I was born broken. A lemon with a ticking time bomb in my chest. I’ve had my heart stopped, restarted, rewired, and parts replaced more times than I can count.

This isn’t just a story about survival. It’s about grit, resilience, love, motherhood, medicine, finding humor in hospital beds and strength in scar tissue, delivered in raw and unfiltered moments.

In Queen of Hearts: Born a Lemon, Nova tells on herself; candidly, unapologetically, and often hilariously. She takes you through the surgeries, the setbacks, the sarcastic remarks that got her through, and the signs that kept showing up to remind her that she was never as alone as she felt.

Inspired by a true story.

This is not just a memoir. It’s a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt broken, exhausted, or underestimated and kept going anyway. Told with unfiltered honesty and a little dark humor, Queen of Hearts: Born a Lemon is a front-row seat to what it means to fight for your health, your sanity, and your place in a world that isn’t built for the fragile.
