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

This is a story of overcoming the cruellest conditions.
A story of survival and loss. Incredible pain and suffering, but also resilience and strength. I already knew a lot about North Korea, but this book still shocked me. Very hard to read and comprehend even.
After finishing, I was left amazed by the human capacity to overcome anything and everything.4
