- & what happened next was unimaginable. Her village was an ISIS target. ISIS jihadists murdered the men & boys, including her father & brother, before taking Farida & the other women prisoner.

She took her chance &, with five younger girls in her charge, fled into the Syrian desert.

Searing & immediate, this is the first memoir by a young woman that shows first-hand what life is like for innocents caught up in the maelstrom of day-to-day life with ISIS.
