Welcome Home

What if the parts of yourself you silenced just to survive… were the ones calling you home? Welcome Home is seen through the eyes of Isabel Meilin, who wanders through a mysterious house built from memory, where she meets Rabbit, Ox, Wolf, and Crane--inner protectors shaped by fear, duty, rage, and distance. Each carries a question: What do I need to feel safe enough to be seen? Blending clinical insight with trauma-informed storytelling and the emotional landscape of diasporic identity, Welcome Home speaks to those who carry much, feel deeply and rarely feel safe, especially readers navigating intergenerational silence, diaspora identity, and emotional suppression. Tender, validating and giftable, this book is a soft place to land when the world feels sharp, and an invitation to remember the wholeness that has always been yours.--“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 book takes us on a journey that not only helps us understand the main character, but ourselves.”Dr. Dinesh Palipana OAM, Queensland Australian of the Year, emergency doctor, disability advocate, and author of Stronger
