Eunsun in recounts her flee from North Korea starting at age 11 and ending when she is a young adult. We watch the perils that she and her family face: losing a father to hunger, being caught by the North Korean guards, run mining for their lives in multiple occasions, modern day slavery...and finally to freedom.

Eunsun is an incredibly talented writer, and I can’t imagine how much more beautiful this book is in Korean. I’m so thankful for her willingness to expose the atrocities happening in North Korea and her boldness in sharing his story to raise awareness to the English speakers of the world about what is really happening and how dire the needs are. I hope to be able to help in some tangible way someday, no matter how small.
