Limbo - Abigail K. Lloyd

The Southern contemporary, coming-of-age story you've been searching for.

This is a story about Kate. A young girl embarking on adolescence without a mother.  Each new phase of her life is catapulted into an unprecedented new time to "grow." (Y2K, 9/11, COVID) When the reality is that she feels like she is slowly dying. She wears her internal wounds like armor to guard a very fragile spirit-equipped with self-deprecating humor and adverse coping mechanisms. Life is life, and she is doing her best. Still, she is starting to feel all the external forces weighing on her as a woman-especially regarding motherhood-until a string of events causes her to unravel.
