In a world just like ours, but different from ours, heartbreaks are taken very seriously. It is a quest, and not a simple one, to find the person you are meant to spend your life with. Soulmates, as we call them, are meant to be together, and only by listening to your heart can you find the right one.

But what happens if you're broken? What happens if you're flawed? Do hearts work past flaws, and continue the quest? Or do flaws render you helpless, unable to find a compatible person, alone for eternity?

Elma Doreen Holmes is a regular girl for all practical purposes. She goes to school, has a gang to hang out with, a best friend for all the gossips and loving parents for when she gets home. The only flaw-- a birthtime injury that leaves her broken forever. And while her mother tells her it's fine, she herself knows that her daughter's life can never, ever be normal.

Join Elma in her journey through life as she laughs, cries, breaks apart and rises again. Be a part of her quest to find her own self, and watch in amazement as it leads into something even better.
