The incredible and moving autobiography of Yeonmi Park: a North Korean defector who escaped across the Gobi desert and is now a leading spokesperson for human rights at just 21 years old. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution. This book is the story of Park's struggle to survive in the darkest, most repressive country on earth.
