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.

An incredibly eye opening story into the horrors of what life is like in North Korea, and an inspiring story of fighting for survival.

I cannot read this book enough times. There is so much substance and power in Yeonmi’s writing and storytelling.  II am so grateful to have read about Yeonmi’s  life and escape from North Korea. 

The narration is steady, clear and easy to understand. I find her voice so soothing which makes the challenging parts of the memoir easier to read.

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.
