A raw, and brutally honest tale of courage and an incredible generous help of a stranger that changes everything.
The most saddest part was to know that this is her true story. That all of these unspeakable things happened to her. I canβt even imagine how difficult her life was as a young girl growing up in North Korea. It was like reading a fictional story, I didnβt wanted to believe that it can be real. It definitely made me even more grateful for how amazing and easy of a childhood I had. Of course I had my own battles as a kid but nothing like things discussed in the book.
I got so emotional by how beautiful the ending of this story was that I even teared up. She fought so much for her family and freedom, it was truly the most moving and inspiring book.
Itβs feels weird to say that I loved this book, it was difficult to read all the things the authorβs been through but I really enjoyed reading about it and how she overcame her struggles. I highly recommend reading her story to everyone!
