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

5.0

“I inhaled books like other people breathe oxygen. I didn't just read for knowledge or pleasure, I read to live.”

Wow. This book was incredible. What Yeonmi Park and many other North Koreans have gone through is simply horrific and inhumane. She is so brave to tell her story and shine light on this issue. I felt truly inspired listening to this book. Everything that Yeonmi Park has overcome and everything she has achieved since her escape is incredible.

I truly think everyone should read this book and will benefit from it. I believe it is so important to educate ourselves on this issue.
