Receiving a fibromyalgia diagnosis should have brought relief, but instead, it comes with heartbreak—her boyfriend walks away, leaving her to pick up the pieces alone. As she struggles with the weight of her new reality, Ella wonders if she'll ever feel whole again. But with the support of her best friend, she begins to see that maybe this isn't the end of her story—maybe it's the beginning of something new.
