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

5.0

Such a phenomenal but heartbreaking story. The things that happened to her happened in the early 21st century and that is pathetic. The fact that women are still treated as property in this day and age infuriates me. This child was exploited for years just trying to to get to a place where she could have access to food and not go hungry. I really don't understand why and how corrupt leaders can stay in power in any country. There are more citizens than there are leaders in all countries, so why, WHY, do we (collectively) allow these atrocities to happen to our fellow humans?? I am so glad that she made her way to the freedom she craved and can only hope her future is amazing.
