In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom
by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers
Yeonmi Park’s story is an incredibly unique look into North Korea. A country that for the rest of the world seems like a black box. Her story is both heart breaking and inspiring.
Heart breaking due to the massive trauma she had to go through both to survive as a little kid in North Korea and to survive years of trying to escape the country both on the border, in China and even after her safety.
Inspiring because the whole world has treated her inhumanely for years and she still believed in the values of justice and freedom enough to push through to learn English and the history of the world to share her authentic and vulnerable story.
Recommended to anyone wanting to learn about North Koreans and to get deep insights into people going through the hardest of hardships. It was a huge humbling experience reading this story.
