In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom
by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers
informative
reflective
tense
medium-paced
This is the personal account of Yeonmi Park, who was born in North Korea. She told a heartbreaking story of what life was like in North Korea, with the lack of facilities, education, running water, and medical services. It is hard to imagine living like that. She managed to escape from North Korea, but was involved in sex trafficking throughout China. It is horrendous to think of anyone going through that kind of stuff, but to imagine a 13/14 year old girl enduring it, and then thinking about all of the children and people from all over the world who are essentially abducted and forced into sex slave labor. I just get revolted by the thought. I was relived that she was able to finally make it to South Korea and some stability and freedom. This was a tragic, brutal story, but it was very good. I wish that I would have read the physical copy instead of listening to the Audible version, but it was good.
