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

4.0

Harrowing to say the least. I am so glad she was brave enough to escape and share her story. This book offers incredible insights of the plight of people trapped under the North Korean regime, and the struggle to survive once out. I didn’t realize the extent of the hardships faced by women escaping the country - being sold into sexual slavery immediately upon entering China is abhorrent. Her account made me realize that for many women escaping North Korea is just the beginning of the journey.
