A debut YA graphic memoir about a Korean-American girl's coming-of-age story-and a coming home story-set between a New Jersey suburb and Seoul, South Korea. Ever since Deborah (Jung-Jin) Lee emigrated from South Korea to the United States, she's felt her otherness. For a while, her English wasn't perfect. Her teachers can't pronounce her Korean name. Her face and her eyes-especially her eyes-feel wrong. In high school, everything gets harder. Friendships change and end, she falls behind in classes, and fights with her mom escalate. Caught in limbo, with nowhere safe to go, Deb finds her mental health plummeting, resulting in a suicide attempt. But Deb is resilient and slowly heals with the help of art and self-care, guiding her to a deeper understanding of her heritage and herself. This stunning debut graphic memoir features page after page of gorgeous, evocative art, perfect for Tillie Walden fans. It's a cross section of the Korean-American diaspora and mental health, a moving and powerful read in the vein of Hey, Kiddo and The Best We Could Do.

"Deborah Lee is a masterful storyteller who reminds us everyone we meet is an entire world while we are plunged into her own. I clutched my heart as hard as I clutched the pages of In Limbo." -Sara Alfageeh, illustrator of Squire
"Deb Lee's beautifully delicate gray landscapes are a fitting backdrop for this coming-of-age tale that encompasses so many of the liminal spaces of life: between cultures, past and future, childhood and independence." -Harmony Becker, creator of Himawari House
"With breathtaking art and poignant storytelling, In Limbo is a masterpiece in expressing one's truth as a queer Asian American." -Laura Gao, creator of Messy Roots

"What a gorgeous meditation on adolescence. Reading this memoir reminded me of watching a molted dragonfly unfurling its delicate wings and triumphantly taking its first flight." -Robin Ha, creator of Almost American Girl

"While the challenges faced in her story are starkly serious, the virtuosity with which Lee shuffles together evocative images is unapologetically joyful." -R. Kikuo Johnson, creator of No One Else
"Deb JJ Lee's In Limbo is spectacular in its synthesis of visual storytelling and gripping tone; a coming-of-age story with truth and heart. It takes the reader to the places where breathing is hard; where I know my own breath was absolutely taken away by this incredible comic." -Molly Mendoza, creator of Skip
"In Limbo lifts the comic memoir to new heights. At once heartrending and triumphant, with sumptuous artwork, this story will take your breath away." -Rebecca Mock, illustrator of Salt Magic
"In Limbo disarms you with its lushness and draws you close with its empathy and honesty. Teenagers (and those of us who once were teenagers) are so lucky to have authors like Deb who reach back through the veil of time to offer understanding and compassion to our lowest lows, to the people who have hurt us and the people we've hurt in return." -Rosemary Valero-O'Connell, illustrator of Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
"It's a beautiful excavation of the most difficult parts of growing up." -Trung Le Capecchi-Nguyen, creator of The Magic Fish

Deb Lee takes the illustrated memoir to intimately personal heights and complex, sublime depths. Lee's visual language is breathtaking, unlike anything I've seen before. I feel changed by this deeply moving work." -Jonny Sun, New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator of Goodbye, again and everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too
"In Limbo feels like it tells life as it is, cutting through the stillness and silence between people, without pulling any punches, without varnish, and yet all beautifully observant. It reminded me of many things from my own life, especially early artistic struggle and uncertainty, and issues of Asian displacement and self-image. I'm sure other readers will respond to this deeply; it may well even save a few lives (especially the ones you never hear about) seeing their own feelings so well illuminated." -Shaun Tan, creator of The Arrival
