Review: a story of courage, survival, family love - I wonder from time to time I wonder if I would survive in a hostile environment with no support from anyone and no resources except what I could manufacture for myself. The author of this book and her mother were made of steel. They survived physical and emotional adversaries, such as I could not ever imagine. But they are only two people among the millions of others who are suffering also. Even when they reached their promised land of South Korea, they were not always welcomed with joy and respect. I think about the many people in refugee camps. The Somalians, who have suffered through horrible famine and oppression. The people of South Sudan. Most of all reading a book like this makes me feel like trying harder to help and yet feeling quite helpless in the face of all this misery. And yet if you look at the photos at the end of this narrative, you see how people find joy and happiness somewhere. They find community. The photos actually were taken during the time when her father was prospering, but even when they were starving and everything was going so wrong for the family, they found happiness in their love for each other. This is a book well worth reading.
Review: Very Interesting - Very interesting true story. I was intrigued by the country, the culture, the injustices that all happened, which often seemed unbelievable if you have never experienced anything Iike it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most important books I’ve ever read
*by H***N on February 15, 2026*

This book is absolutely unforgettable. Yeonmi Park’s story of survival, courage, and the pursuit of freedom is both heartbreaking and incredibly inspiring. It provides a raw, eye-opening look at life in North Korea and the harrowing journey of a defector. It changed my perspective on the world and made me realize how much I take for granted. Every person should read this.
