Very harrowing and difficult to read, but had some beautiful lessons to learn and ways of viewing the world we could all use. Well worth the read, but have tissues ready.

adventurous challenging dark emotional inspiring sad tense medium-paced

Amazing personal account of her life in North Korea, China, and South Korea. It’s a dark truth, but overall I absolutely loved it. 

I included a lot of disclaimers. It’s a heavy read… lots of content that can be too much to handle at times.
