“Lalli unveils a window” is a sequel to “Lalli’s Window.” When eleven-year-old Lalli loses a leg in a car accident, the impact on the family, especially on Lalli herself, is horrendous. Three years later, Lalli has not only learned to accept her one-leggedness not only as a positive (she names her prosthetic “Medusa”!), but as a way to see the world with greater empathy. However, some preconceived notions remain, especially about the nature of Islam. Encouraged by her wise parents who shrewdly hint that Lalli’s Muslim friend Mariam might have doubts about Hinduism too, Lalli realizes that the roots of violence lie in people, not in religions. And when Mariam needs help in saving her older brother Sharif from being recruited by members of the terrorist group ISIS-K, Lalli and her friends rally around her and help the FBI’s counterterrorist unit in destroying the ISIS-K cell in Tucson, Arizona.
