Dear Readers,
I am so grateful for your
continued
support of my
father’s story
over the
years. Many of
you have
followed this
journey since
Rising from the Ashes was first published in 2013, and
later as 8:15: A True Story of Survival and
Forgiveness
from Hiroshima.
I am thrilled to share that my
father’s story
has found a
new home under
a new title,
published by
Monoray (an
imprint of
Octopus Books,
a Hachette
group
publisher).
The Hiroshima Boy: His
Extraordinary
True Story of
Survival and
Hope is now available worldwide.
The story remains the same — my
father
Shinji’s
extraordinary
first person
account of
surviving the
atomic bombing
of Hiroshima
on 6 August
1945, just
1,200 metres
from the
epicenter, and
the remarkable
journey he and
his father
made through
the
devastation of
the city in
the days that
followed. It
is a story of
unimaginable
suffering,
unbreakable
love, and
enduring hope.
With the anniversary of the
Hiroshima
bombing on
August 6th at
8:15am Japan
Time—
approaching,
there is no
more important
time to share
this story
with the
world.
Thank you, as always, for keeping
my father’s
memory and
message alive.
With warmth and gratitude,
Akiko Mikamo

Extraordinary
