I’m pleased to announce the release of two audiobooks, each representing a special chapter of my life.
Abandoned No More: An Ambassador of Christ
Narrated in my own voice, this deeply personal memoir honors my mother, a professor of Japanese language and linguistics for more than 35 years. It explores our family’s journey across cultures and generations, and my search for faith, identity, healing, and purpose.
若狭 梅の里から、世界へ (The Blue Diamond Coast)
I’m also delighted to announce that all three Japanese editions—paperback, Kindle eBook, and audiobook—are now available!
The Japanese-language audiobook is a collaborative effort with Wakasa Town in Fukui Prefecture. Featuring narration by Mayor Watanabe and members of the town team, it celebrates Wakasa’s history, culture, natural beauty, and the power of grassroots diplomacy to connect communities across borders.
📚 Japanese Editions:
Though different in subject, both books share a common message: the power of faith, human connection, and understanding across cultures.
I hope you’ll enjoy listening and reading!
