Hope Is Alive

Hope is Alive is a compelling story with a simple and universal message. We must not give up in our belief that our minds and hearts are meant to be free and with the right cultivation our works and best intentions will blossom with fruit we can all one day enjoy. As the world turns so to do the stories of Flutura and Fisnik, a young "star crossed" couple whose paths cross then diverge at the instigation of the communists lackeys who trade pennies for beauty. But ultimately it does not matter for in the end no good deed goes unnoticed no matter how small or large. It is a scintillating yet innocent story of young love, familial love, and love of society. It is a treat-full peak inside the world of mid 20th century rural Albania and the intersection of uncaring communism, beauty, belief, rivers, mountains, hearts and minds. Hope is Alive is comfort food for the soul and a must read for anyone who needs a reminder to never give upon on your goals and convictions but to also find time to truly see and smell the flowers and all that nature has to give.
