Sobre IBD

Poverty and war were the two horrors that faced two young girls, but resilience and hope in what they believed set them on their separate paths.Pimchan was born into poverty in Thailand. At fifteen she began work in a Bangkok sweatshop but her pursuit of happiness left her abandoned with a child and heartbroken. That changed when she met James, a foreigner who was holidaying in Phuket. Where would this journey take her?Amira was a Kurd, born in Turkey where the Kurdish people were classed as refugees with no homeland. Suffering shaped her life and after losing her best friend to ISIS terrorists, Amira turned to revenge. Crossing into Syria, she joined the YPJ women’s militia and became a militant sniper. Life was rough, feelings were discarded. A dead ISIS terrorist was just another notch in her belt, payback for the cruel fate her people suffered. Then the Kurds were betrayed by America and everything changed.
