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.Beautifully written with South Korean compatriot Seh-lynn Chai, this compelling book offers a stark lesson in determination, and ultimately in the importance of asylum."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.87095 Park Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
