Summary:
"Jihyun Park is
one
of these rare survivors. Twice she left the land of the 'socialist miracle' to flee famine and dictatorship.By the age of 29 she had already witnessed a lifetime of suffering. Family members had died of starvation; her brother was beaten nearly to death by soldiers. Even smiling and laughing was discouraged. The first time she ran, she was forced abandon her father on his deathbed - crossing the border under a hail of bullets. In China she was sold to a farmer, with whom she had a son, before being denounced and forcibly returned to
North
Korea
. Six months later guards abandoned her, injured, outside a prison camp. She recovered and returned China to seek her son, now six, before attempting to navigate the long, hard road through the Gobi Desert and into Mongolia. Clear-eyed and resolute, Jihyun'
s
extraordinary story reveals a
Korea
far removed from the talk of nuclear weapons and economic sanctions. She remains sanguine despite the hardship. Recalling life'
s
tiny pleasures even at her darkest moments, she manages to instill her tale with incredible grace and humanity. Written with South Korean compatriot Seh-lynn Chai."
