An amazing story of how the author was able to get her mother and brother out of North Korea after living illegally in China for a while. Very honest and eventually having a happy conclusion. Also tells of the extreme kindness of a friendly Australian. A life affirming book.
This is my favourite book of the series, maybe because it‘s the first I ever read. The heartbreak was easier to get through this time around because I knew the ending and that it wouldn‘t last. It feels so much longer and so much harder the first time through. I loved this book even more the second time through. I‘m so excited to start Liv‘s book.

Starting a new book recommended by a library coworker.
Well, this is disappointing: a book I loved listening to while painting my house but found out some problematic info about the author after finishing it. North Korean defector Yeonmi Park has been accused of fabricating some of this story. I‘m not sure what to believe but this is a book for my deep dive into North Korea. I‘m looking forward to Nothing to Envy next from @Singout ‘s #alspine list. A brutal story of survival. Conflicted pick
