Description
In this "courageous and inspiring memoir," a young man recounts his escape from an impoverished childhood and adolescence in North Korea ( Kirkus Reviews). Inside the hidden and mysterious world of North Korea, Joseph Kim lived a young boy's normal life until he was five. Then disaster struck: the first wave of the Great Famine, a long, terrible ordeal that killed millions, including his father, and sent others, like his mother and only sister, on desperate escape routes into China.
