A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
by Masaji Ishikawa
Words cannot adequately express how depressing this book was, but I am glad to have read it. Even though Ishikawa's words are still fresh in my mind, I still find it impossible to do more than imagine the hardship and the pain he endured during his time in North Korea. I want to say knowing his trials will help make me a better person, more appreciative of all I have, but honestly it's so difficult for me to put my middle class American mind *there*. I need some time for all of this to sink in.
