Taba says her debut book "Tales from the Dawn-Lit Mountains" is a souvenir of her life in the hills of Arunachal Pradesh and she feels delighted to have liberated these stories dwelling inside her.

The stories in this collection are shaped by the hilly terrains of Arunachal Pradesh, stirred by the mountain rivers, flavoured by the harvests of the soil and tempered by the tribal people living in the isolated hinterlands under the shadows of magic and realism, she says.

"Each story is a glimpse into the heart of life. A peek inside the dark corridors of a bamboo house in the hills. A look at the wild outcry rising amid a fire lit up in the distant mountain villages," Taba adds.
