A very powerful and moving story about a North Korean defector turned human rights advocate.

I think most people can't even comprehend the amount of suffering that Yeonmi Park has endured. It is important to share stories like hers. Her journey to freedom is sad, shocking, horrifying, hopeful, and inspiring.

Harrowing, terrifying, brutally honest and incredibly sad - a story of hope and escape for freedom that will inspire and educate you in equal parts. Just wow.

I’ll be the first to admit that I never knew what happened in North Korea because I never thought about it. I watched a YouTube video about the 8 ways to defect from the country and this story was mentioned, I knew I had to read it, educate myself about what’s happen in the world.

This entire story is heartbreaking and is a necessary read. It took weeks to get through because things were so hard to stomach but I truly cannot express the appreciation I feel toward Yeonmi for being brave and willing to share her experiences.
