She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea--and to freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePark confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life.

Park's testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594206795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 6.41w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2015 pg. 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2015 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917293588661,"sku":"9781594206795","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4173ad00-baa5-43ca-aba0-ff97c562dd36.jpg?v=1687281743","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-order-to-live-a-north-korean-girls-journey-to-freedom-9781594206795","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
