adventurous fast-paced

4.5

Interesting story of a North Korean defector who not only escaped on her own but also got her family out. She shares the challenges, dangers, and struggles of leaving her country of birth to seek a different and better life somewhere else. This book moves quickly and is an interesting listen/read.
