All around the world refugees are incredibly resilient, but it's heartbreaking how they are exploited at their most vulnerable and desperate. It amazes me how, even after everything she's been through, Park can still find love and compassion in her heart for having been born in North Korea. The world is broken and humans have the capacity for unspeakable depravity, but Park shows how incredible virtue can exist alongside it. Her hope for North Korea's liberation one day brought tears to my eyes.
This memoir is not for the faint of heart. Trigger warnings for rape, abuse, human trafficking, execution, murder, death, and starvation.
