  In the first anthology of its kind, Robert Olen Butler and Phong Nguyen assemble an astounding collection of stories that cause listeners to contemplate war, peace, and social justice in a new light. The fourteen stories featured in this volume explore the varied and often unexpected outcomes of violence. The authors explore the tragedies that occur closer to home—not on military battlefields but rather in places that are never meant to be battlefields, like schools and churches. The fiction reveals the violence that renders our most sacred and seemingly safest of places vulnerable. 
   
   
   
  Not a utopian project, this book asks whether literature has a role in furthering the ongoing pursuit of peace and justice for all. While exploring tragedy, these stories also offer hope for healing, illuminating how people can move forward from the moments when their lives change and how they can regain and reshape safe spaces to find solace.

  A Shot at Freedom and Shadows of the Past
   
  Carl wasn't one for chances, but this mission was supposed to be his lifeline. A simple entry, unseen—except nothing is simple in a city built on deceit. Knocking on a door guarded by barking shadows, Carl clutches at an elusive freedom, a card dealt from the edge of the abyss.
   
  Inside, Carl is thrust into a game far deadlier than Solitaire ever promised. The room swells with whispers of betrayal, each figure a ghost from a past he can’t place. Guns flash like lightning in a storm of moral ambiguity. As bullets fly and identities unravel, Carl stares down destiny’s barrel, wondering just who he’ll become on the other side. In a den of secrets, only one question remains: who walks away when the smoke clears?
