'The most riveting TED talk ever' Oprah Hyeonseo Lee brought the human consequences of global inaction on North Korea to the world's doorstep ... Against all odds she escaped, survived, and had the courage to speak out' Samantha Power, U.S. representative to the U.N. 'This is a powerful story of an escapee from North Korea. In the hallowed meeting rooms of the United Nations in New York, ambassadors from North Korea recently sought to shout down stories like this. But these voices will not be silenced. Eventually freedom will be restored. History will vindicate Hyeonseo Lee and those like her for the risks they ran so that their bodies and their minds could be free. And so that we could know the truth' Michael Kirby, chair of the U.N. commission on human rights abuses in North Korea 'When I first met Hyeonseo Lee, the unflinching manner in which she told her story was inspirational. She experienced hunger, coldness, fear, terror, threats and pursuit. All this she had to endure, simply for being a North Korean refugee. But the one thing that she held onto was her humanity, ever stronger as she continuously sublimated her hardships into hope. This is a sad and beautiful story of a girl who could not even keep her name, yet overcome all with the identity of what it is to be human' Jang Jin-sung, author of 'Dear Leader: Poet, Spy, Escapee - A Look Inside North Korea'

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An extraordinary insight into life under one of the world's most ruthless and secretive dictatorships - and the story of one woman's terrifying struggle to avoid capture/repatriation and guide her family to freedom., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An extraordinary insight into life under one of the world's most ruthless and secretive dictatorships - and the story of one woman's terrifying struggle to avoid capture/repatriation and guide her family to freedom. As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped by a secretive and brutal communist regime. Her home on the border with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines of the Hermit Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been brainwashed her entire life. Given the repression, poverty and starvation she witnessed surely her country could not be, as she had been told "the best on the planet"? Aged seventeen, she decided to escape North Korea. She could not have imagined that it would be twelve years before she was reunited with her family.

      Compelling book

      A must read about what it’s like growing up under communism. I’ve been appreciating every freedom we have in the Western as I’m following along the author’s experience.

    • N.Korea exposed

      I’m closing out on the end now. I actually could not put the book down last night and am tired today but it was worth it. If anyone wants to know what’s going on in North Korea this book captures the atrocities. This young lady has quite a good vocabulary and puts us right in the middle of the nightmares she lived through.

    • Life in North Korea as never showcased by its own country

      Following this person's accounts of life in North Korea and then departing from that country is worth finding out about. One can learn the contrasts among countries and between totalitarianism and republics. This is one of the few ways the free world has to find out about such countries like this one.

    • A must read!

      I find this to be a great book. It has captured my interest, I real page turner. I can’t believe all this poor girl went through. I must read!

    • Should be required reading!

      This book should be required reading in high school and college. The lack of freedom, the propaganda, this book, the real people who suffered through this, should make people realize our freedom here is worth fighting for.
