Tina Crawford lost her only son Ira Hopkins in 2014 when gunshots struck him in a senseless robbery.

Jy'Aire Smith-Pennick , 18 , was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the crime.

After the verdict, Crawford found herself going far beyond the easy choice of revenge and fully embracing mercy.

She invited Jy’Aire to write her a letter and eventually, that offer became a telephone call.
