In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers
5.0
It is impossible to read this book and not feel deep pain for the North Korean people. This book eats away at the very things that make us human. Watching her transformation from simply wanting to not be starving to coming to understand concepts like love, inspiration, and freedom is staggering.
I'm eager to see how this book stacks up against the other defectors' books I have on my list. I suspect I'll end up feeling like it's unfair to compare them and that each story is important.
