In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Maryanne Vollers, Yeonmi Park

5.0

I've been wanting to read something about North Korea for a while and this didn't disappoint. Yeonmi is the same age as me, which made it all the more real to compare what I was up to at her age. It's hard to believe her story is true. Also that she managed to survive & make it to South Korea. It's a great insight into how hard it is to escape and where she lived there was only a river separating her from China. It was very interesting to hear about how life was in North Korea and the mindset of people.
