Makoto — Kelley Wilde

MAKOTO
Japanese: getting the job down no matter what. Making the supreme effort. Going all the way.

Meet Motoko Shirata Leigh, living alone for the first time in her life. Japanese, a newly-divorced mail-order bride -- truly a stranger in a strange land: New York City.

Mo's tiny basement apartment is nor refuge from the city's turmoil and danger, filled as it is with memories of her life in Japan…and of her brother Matsuo, who committed seppuku when Mo was only twelve.

Matsuo's spirit is not at rest. Anger and frustration have slowly transformed it into an ani-a demon-hungry for its sister's soul. Growing ever stronger, it waits, with eternal patience, for the perfect moment to strike.

When the ani smiles, Motoko calls on every strength she possesses. Only makoto can save her.
