An honest and deeply human graphic novel about what it means to live with the textures, rhythms, and contradictions of anxiety, and to find one's own way to peace.

Liz is a young woman who has struggled with a fractured sense of self. Physical symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and a persistent sense of fear and disconnection have taken over as she struggles to keep pace with the world around her. During the summer, she retreats to her grandmother's house in a small coastal village, hoping that distance, slowness, and anonymity might offer a form of relief—or at least a pause, and perhaps a way back to herself.

Liz's story openly discusses anxiety and mental health—some of the defining yet often unspoken experiences of our time. It speaks to a generation in search of contemporary, empathetic narratives that resonate with those who live with anxiety and offer insight to those seeking to understand and support them.
