A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Book • 2015

In this memoir, Yeonmi Park recounts her struggle to survive in North Korea under the oppressive rule of Kim Jong-il.

She describes her escape to China at the age of 13, where she and her mother faced severe hardships, including human trafficking.

The book details their perilous journey across the Gobi Desert to Mongolia and eventually to South Korea, highlighting the challenges of adjusting to a new life and overcoming years of indoctrination.

Park's story is a testament to her resilience and her emergence as a leading human rights activist before her 21st birthday.
