I found her story compelling and inspiring, and has led me to read others like it. We simply have no idea what life is really like inside North Korea and how these people are struggling to survive. Her journey to freedom through China, overcoming starvation, trafficking, and adjusting to a whole new world outside of Korea is amazing. My heart goes out to the North Korean people and my thanks to everyone involved in helping them escape and find a new life. Read this book!! Share it with others!!
