This book was given to my by a friend as a present with the words "a friend recommended it to me and said it would make my cry!"

Needless to say, this book and the real story it conveys did make me cry. But not for the brutal honesty with which Yeonmi Park describes her journey to freedom (I was mainly too shocked and heartbroken), but the positive outlook on her future and what she is trying to do with her voice and her story.

Simpyl because of the nature of this joruney, it is not a light read, but very much worth it.

Breathtaking and inspirational read. Heartbreaking to read about a young woman’s experience in North Korea and in China. Very hopeful and optimistic ending as Yeonmi Park continues her activism as a human rights activist. A difficult but important read.
