In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers

---

This was a really heavy and heartbreaking story. I can’t give this a rating. I always knew it was rough in North Korea but the things this woman had to go through by the time she was 15 is unimaginable. She is incredibly courageous and brave for getting through what she did and everything she’s accomplished since.
