Description: In the early summer of 2014, Farida Khalaf was a typical Yazidi teenager living with her parents and three brothers in her village in the mountains of Northern Iraq. In one horrific day, she lost everything: ISIS invaded her village, destroyed her family, and sold her into sexual slavery. This book is her account of captivity and describes how she defied the odds and escaped a life of torture, in order to share her story with the world.
