This woman's story is beyond amazi...ng. It should be required reading for ALL American high school and college students - they could learn how precious this "freedom" we have in the United States is, and how so many young people have grown up with it and have no understanding and appreciation of how very fortunate they are to have it, and might be motivated to be proud to be an American. God Bless Yeonmi for her courage to recount her young life in Korea and her pursuit of freedom.

An unthinkable story of a 13 year old... girl who escaped from North Korea simply because she was starving and hoped to get a bowl of rice. Her journey was largely an ongoing nightmare, but she finally reached South Korea. There she had to learn how to live in freedom. She went from having no decisions to make to having to learn to think for herself. Through hardship, and with almost superhuman resolve, she ultimately, well, read the book. It is worth the effort.
