When you're always searching, you might just surprise yourself with what you find
After a rocky attempt at living in London with his partner, Lawrence finds himself single, broke, and back at home in Compton with his mom and great-aunt, moping from bed tokitchen table and back to bed again, with long layovers on the front porch to sit and watchthe world pass him by. Everything had been so good--a degree, an animation internship, paid music gigs, the perfect girl. How the heck did Lawrence get knocked so far down, with such little semblance of his former life remaining to hold him together? Well, that's along story... Set to a cacophonous soundtrack of church praise, playground noise, bus-stopcamaraderie, and Pacific Ocean waves, Lawrence Lindell's heartbreaking--andheartwarming--We All Got Something recounts a tragic and random act of violence, thePTSD that follows, lost love, and coming to terms with the underlying mental health crisessabotaging it all. A testament to the healing power of art and the vital role community playsin the process, Lindell's graphic memoir is deeply personal and specific, but also relatable--because we all got something. The follow-up to Lindell's Eisner-nominated and Excellence in Graphic Literature Award-winninggraphic novel Blackward, We All Got Something brings Lindell's love of thecomics community into a different light, and shows the author exploring deeper and darkercorners of his past, with his signature blend of humor, heart, and cartoony lines.

Critical Reviews
"Lindell's loose, expressionistic drawings burst with energy, humor, and bright colors." --Publishers Weekly
"Lindell's colorful panels imbue energy on every page while his empathically expressive characters and dynamic hand lettering--in spirited caps, with plenty of bold highlights, even old-school bubble letters--add multilayered vibrancy." --ALA Booklist
