From Ashes Into Light is the winner of the 2016 International Book Awards in Visionary Fiction and New Age Fiction. From Ashes Into Light is a transpersonal tale of epic tragedy, spirituality, family, and personal redemption. It is told through three distinct voices: the haunting story of Ruth, a Jewish adolescent during Kristallnacht in World War II Austria, Saqapaya, a stalwart Native American from coastal California during the time of the Spanish conquest, and Friede Mai. Friede is born during WW II to a Bavarian soldier and an East-Prussian mother. As those around her struggle with the inevitable chaos and paradox of war, young Friede opens her heart to gruesome enemies, at times helping her family members escape atrocities. With war behind them, the Mai family immigrates to the US, where Friede, her veteran father and ex-refugee mother, struggle with reverberations of trauma, suspicion and prejudice. Upon leaving home, Friede meets her spiritual guide and confidant in her fiancé's Rabbi, who helps her see that the voices from her past are teachers and the horrors of history also contain beacons of light. Gudrun Mouw is an award-winning author. From Ashes Into Light, her debut novel, draws on the experience of Mouw's mother's family, who walked over 500 miles from what is now Kaliningrad, Russia to Magdeburg, Germany during the aftermath of WWII. Mouw has a Master's Degree in English Literature, and has worked as a columnist, a college professor, a librarian at Stanford University and a Poet-in-the-Schools. Her collection of poetry, Wife of the House, was published in 2014. She lives near Santa Barbara, California.
