Publisher's Summary

Born in 1970s North Korea, Lucia Jang grew up in a typical household - her parents worked in the factories, and the family scraped by on rations. Nightly she bowed to her photo of Kim Il-Sung. It was the beginning of a chaotic period with a decade-long famine.

Jang married an abusive man who sold their baby. She left him and went home to help her family by illegally crossing the river to China to trade goods. She was caught and imprisoned twice. After giving birth to a second child, which the government ordered to be killed, she escaped with him, fleeing under gunfire across the Chinese border. This demonstration of love and courage reflects the range of experiences many North Korean women have endured.

Amazing, heartbreaking

This is a true story of survival right from the start. I’m in awe of the writers courage and so thankful that she was able to escape North Korea as so many have been unable to do.
To know this refugees story is to get a glimpse into the life lived by those in North Korea. It’s unbelievable to me, a privileged Canadian, that the people of North Korea are subjected to live the way they do and that there are those sacrificing their own lives to help others escape at the time this book was written. I hope and pray that change will come and now want to educate myself more on this subject.
