In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park is a memoir that recounts her life under the repressive North Korean regime, her escape at age thirteen, and the harrowing journey through China and Mongolia to reach freedom. Park describes the brutality, starvation, and control she experienced growing up, as well as the dangers of human trafficking she faced after fleeing. Through her story, she reflects on identity, survival, and the courage it takes to reclaim one’s life. The book is both a personal testimony and a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
