In Order to Live is an incredible real-life story of Yeonmi Park, a North Korean girl, who escaped into China and then into South Korea. Her epic fight for freedom is nearly unbelievable: Yeonmi survived starvation, abuse, trafficking, and near death just to have the simple freedoms we all take for granted. It is a heart-breaking and at times a horrific story to read yet I found it impossible to put down. Curious about North Korea? Grab this memoir and strap yourself in for a trip to hell on earth.
