A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
by Masaji Ishikawa
Masaji's story makes North Korea sound like Scientology turned up to 11, and cloaked in sadness. Unless you have a status of favor with the government officials, how you survive these conditions!? Masaji's story is utterly heartbreaking, dotted with a strong bond of family. During some of the darkest chapters, his commitment to his family was very beautiful and made everything he endured seem almost bearable. But even when you think he's turned things around, his story is still crushingly sad. Silver lining, this story makes me feel very grateful for my life.
