Requests:  0 Summary:  "Eunsun Kim was born in North Korea, one of the most secretive and oppressive countries in the modern world. As a child Eunsun loved her country...despite her school field trips to public executions, daily self-criticism sessions, and the increasing gnaw of hunger as the country-wide famine escalated. By the time she was eleven years old, Eunsun's father and grandparents had died of starvation, and Eunsun was in danger of the same. Finally, her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister, not knowing that they were embarking on a journey that would take them nine long years to complete. Before finally reaching South Korea and freedom, Eunsun and her family would live homeless, fall into the hands of Chinese human traffickers, survive a North Korean labor camp, and cross the deserts of Mongolia on foot. Now, Eunsun is sharing her remarkable story to give voice to the tens of millions of North Koreans still suffering in silence. Told with grace and courage, her memoir is a riveting exposé of North Korea's totalitarian regime and, ultimately, a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Biography B 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87092 Kim Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87092 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
