We are Called to Rise
When an ice cream van is stopped at a cross roads, its brake light out, what are the chances its driver will be terrified by the police, his wife unable to communicate her distress as she tries to protect her children?

That he'll pull out his gun, blinded by memories of war? What are the chances that the only hope of happiness left to that broken family inside the van will begin with a letter from a man desperate for redemption, to do something good? And will Bashkim Ahmeti, our eight-year-old hero, let him?
