    A spirit who calls himself Dog, reincarnates into a new life while trying to retain the memories of his last life experiences as they quickly drift away. Dog thinks he is here to save a little girl, but a couple who call themselves "Babe", takes him from his mission and sends him on a new adventure with a blind Pitbull named Ruka, and a RV that looks to be falling apart. Synchronicities and destiny take over and send Dog down a path a lot of souls never return from. Can he accept his own faith with the help of a blind companion? 
    Paws To Prophecies is an incredible read from start to finish. It takes you on an unforgettable journey, letting you experience the world through the eyes of a dog. The way the author captures the dog's thoughts, movements, and life is so vivid and heartfelt that you find yourself fully immersed in their perspective. 
    The storytelling is masterful, with an urgency that keeps you hooked, even in th quieter moments. You can't help but root for the main characters-they're so lovable and inspiring. You'll laugh from your gut, cry from your heart, and feel every emotion in between as you follow their journey. 
    At its core, this is a story about love, strength, and bravery. It's about embracing life's challenges, staying true to yourself, and finding connection-with others, the world, and with God. The writing is beautifully poetic, weaving these themes together in a way that is both deeply moving and unforgettable. This is the kind of book that stays with you, long after you turn the final page. 
    “(This) story is romance, friendship and family, loyalty, bravery, love and trust, being creative and open, and being a good human and allowing ourselves to love even when it hurts—plus, honestly, a million more—all readers will be able to identify with this!” ~Editor~

    Sunrise is a collection of interconnected stories continuing Erika Kobayashi's examination of the effects of nuclear power on generations of women. Connecting changes to everyday life to the development of the atomic bomb, Sunrise shows us how the discovery of radioactive power has shaped our history and continues to shape our future. 
     
     
     
    In the opening, eponymous story "Sunrise," Yoko, born exactly two years and one day after Nagasaki was decimated, mirrors her life to the development of nuclear power in Japan. In "Precious Stones," four daughters take their elderly mother to the restorative waters of a radium spring, exchanging tales of immortality. In "Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey," a woman goes into labor during the final days of WWII. And finally, "The Forest of Wild Birds" shows Erika visiting the site of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster, touring grounds that were once covered in green. 
     
     
     
    Translator Brian Bergstrom returns in this collection, bringing to life Kobayashi's unsettling, lasting, and striking prose. The stories in Sunrise force a reckoning with the lasting effects of known and unknown histories and asks how much of modern life is influenced by forces outside of our control.
