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

5.0

Today I finished the book "In Order to Live" by Yeonmi Park. This book was an emotional yet strong view into the world of a North Korean defector escaping from a life most of us can't even fathom. I've never known much about the history of life in North Korea. This book is not written by someone that is a literary master and spun their story, but is the true hard story of her life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as or highlighted the perseverance of the human mind through the darkness. It is a heavy read, but I highly recommend.
