About Book

Who This Book Is For

Welcome Home is for “those who’ve lived in fragments and gently gathered their pieces to rediscover who they’ve always been.”
It’s for readers who carry inherited wounds, untold stories, or unspoken questions—and are ready to begin the slow, quiet return to themselves. This book meets you in the aftermath—after the storm, after the silence, after the mask of perfection starts to slip. It isn’t a manual for fixing what’s broken. It’s an invitation to remember what’s still whole.
It’s for readers who carry inherited wounds, untold stories, or unspoken questions—and are ready to begin the slow, quiet return to themselves. This book meets you in the aftermath—after the storm, after the silence, after the mask of perfection starts to slip. It isn’t a manual for fixing what’s broken. It’s an invitation to remember what’s still whole.
  • You carry emotional burdens that feel older than you—passed down through silence, sacrifice, or survival
  • You’ve long felt split between different identities or roles, unsure where the real “you” begins
  • You’re in therapy—or curious about it—and want a companion that reflects your inner world, not just your symptoms
  • You’re a therapist, coach, or healer looking for a clinically grounded, culturally attuned resource to share with clients
  • You come from a collectivist or diasporic culture where duty and belonging often come before selfhood
  • You’ve learned to appear strong, capable, high-functioning—while quietly carrying parts of yourself that no one sees

This is for the brave and weary heart that keeps beating inside you... for the quiet strength that has carried you here. Welcome home. You’ve always belonged.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Pre Order Now

01

Understand the parts of you shaped by survival—like Rabbit, Ox, Wolf, and Crane—and how they’ve protected you in ways you may never have noticed.

02

See the legacy of unspoken wounds—and how intergenerational trauma can live in silence, shape our relationships, and repeat until it’s named.

03

Hold space for emotions you’ve been taught to hide—like shame, exhaustion, or rage—and learn to meet them with compassion instead of judgment.

04

Begin the journey of coming home to yourself—not by fixing what’s “broken,” but by welcoming what’s been waiting to be seen.

Praise for Welcome Home

“In her debut book, Dr. Lim explores complex themes, in part by threading exquisite hints of Asian culture through the story. Simply put, Welcome Home is beautiful. The books takes us on a journey that not only helps us understand the main character, but ourselves”

Welcome Home is available for pre-order

What if the parts of yourself you silenced just to survive… were the ones calling you home?

Welcome Home is a beautifully illustrated story shaped by trauma science, diasporic identity, and parts-based psychology. Through Isabel Meilin’s journey across a house built from memory, you’ll meet Rabbit, Ox, Wolf, and Crane—four parts shaped by fear, rage, duty, and distance.
This book doesn’t offer solutions. It offers recognition.
 It’s not a fix—it’s a mirror.

If you’ve ever felt fractured, untethered, or unseen—this is your way home.

About Book

Land Acknowledgment

This book was created on lands rich with story, memory, and ancestral presence.

Its early threads were woven in Domett, Aotearoa, within the rohe of Ngāi Tahu, the tangata whenua of Te Waipounamu. We honor their deep and continuing relationship with the whenua, moana, and whakapapa that hold and nourish all life.

The writing and illustrations unfolded on Darug Country in New South Wales. We pay respect to the Darug people, Traditional Custodians of this unceded land, and to their Elders—past, present, and emerging. We are grateful for the opportunity to create on Country shaped by resistance, survival, and cultural strength.

This acknowledgment is not a formality. It is a quiet act of reverence.Healing cannot be separated from place. Stories—like rivers—flow into older waters. The work of Welcome Home walks in the shadow of deeper histories, and is offered in the spirit of relationship, reciprocity, and remembrance.

Welcome Home!

Join Isabel and her five companions tender Rabbit, burdened Ox, shadowed Wolf, distant Crane, and great Celestial Whale as they walk beside you. Together, you’ll unravel the stories etched into your scars, listen to voices long silenced, and begin to reclaim the wholeness that’s always been yours.
This illustrated book is a soft place to land when the world feels sharp. A gentle conversation with the parts of you that ache to be heard.
