Wow!
Wow! This story is horrific and heartbreaking and amazing! I'm so astonished at the evil in this world and the resilience of humans to overcome it. I've been following Yeonmi Park on her podcast tour this fall, so I wanted to know her full story with all the details. This memoir is well worth your time, and Yeonmi Park is inspiring. Read this book!

An astonishing young women, her story brought me to tears many times. Not just from the saddest of the situation but from the pure inspiration she is as well.

What an inspiring, yet heartbreaking story about a north korean girl escaping to freedom. The things she has gone through during and after the escape were horrific and terrible. I cannot imagine the emotions she has faced. Despite everything she has gone through, she was still determine to get the education she deserved and pushed through! And even the journey in finding her sister after all these years. I'm so glad she shared her story & it's such an important read to educate ourselves on these issues.
