Status : On-hold Patrienne Ysabel Gonido has always been the carefree, happy-go-lucky girl of Barangay Anilaw, where peace reigns and conflict is a distant memory. Growing up surrounded by family and friends, her life seemed perfect-simple, quiet, and free of the world's chaos. Her dream was to live that way forever, wrapped in the warmth of her small, idyllic community. But when the time comes to pursue her college education, there is no school in her hometown. Forced to leave the comfort of her sheltered life, Patrienne steps into a world far more ruthless than she could have imagined. Confronted with harsh realities, she begins to realize how unforgiving life can be-even for those who wish for nothing more than peace and the chance to chase their dreams.
