Book excerpt: “I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.” - Yeonmi Park "One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller “Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” —Publishers Weekly In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea—and to freedom. Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.
Download or read book The Girl from Vietnam written by Kim Jones and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of treacherous war, Saigon--a city often compared to Paris--transforms into hellishness under the dictates of a cruel new government. A young Saigonese and her family flees to their earlier home in a peaceful village on the banks of a great river, but the repressive new regime is soon breathing down their backs again. Gambling everything, they put their lives and all their trust into an old frail antiquated and barely powered river boat. Never meant to traverse wide and deep waters such as the China Sea, it bobs like flotsam in waters patrolled by murdering pirates and subject to pounding storms. What follows is a miraculous event and good fortune delivers them to a Chinese fishing village within Malaysia, then a refugee camp outside Kuala Lumpur, and finally to a strange and wondrous place called San Diego, free of Viet Cong and monsoon rains and home to a yearly celebration in which kids can wear costumes and demand candy. Where many helpful people greet the newcomers with helping hands and open hearts. But also, where some people label newcomers as Gooks, or worse, act as if they are completely without human value. This thrilling and touching story is told through the eyes of a girl born just after the pivotal Tet Offensive of 1968, which turned the tide of American opinion against the dubious Vietnam war, a girl merely ten years old when she and her family faced almost certain death but who found in America a land, and a welcome, that outstripped her ability to hope.

Book excerpt: Harold Weston's Freedom in the Wilds brings an informal history of the rugged Adirondack wilderness together with Weston’s own adventures there as an artist. The vivid and spirited stories he gathered from guides, lumbermen, and visionaries continue to make the case for preserving the wild lands of the region.

In this third edition, Rebecca Foster brings Weston’s fascinating personal story to the foreground. A new section of the book with excerpts from Weston’s rich storehouse of letters and diaries will be a revelation to fans of Weston’s work or for anyone interested in the growth of an impassioned, artistic mind.

Download or read book 14 Hands to Freedom written by Glen Vetter and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title "14 Hands to Freedom" was created after the book was completed. The story itself has been told for years, and I always thought it would make a great book if I ever could get it down on paper. The timelines and families are true stories, but the adventures are my wild imagination of what could have happened. A story of a German cavalry captain, his men, their horses, and families being chased out of Russia with goals to live free in America. Threatened by King Nickolas II, a recently appointed czar, who was to eliminate all Germans that live in Russia. Captain derived a plan to get out of Russia, sail for America, and find freedom and homestead land in North Dakota. The story starts in 1896, as a cavalry captain and his men are sought out and then chased to the shores of the Black Sea. Captain hires two experienced English sailors, steals a Russian ship, and cleverly loads the entire community and their belongings onto the ship. They navigate the entire community of Germans from Russia to America. Battles with Russian soldiers, pirates, and winter storms harden the families, and battles of love, life, and happiness become all too real. Ten women become pregnant, and Captain struggles to keep balance between being a leader of men and a father of four teenage girls. Captain's two prodigies, the oldest and youngest, Mark and Glen, do everything they can to become cavalry men. Glen's horse is fourteen hands tall and races his way across America. Mark continues to shoot his way through, and the huge piles of money they win create even a bigger threat. Captain's men are called upon several times to save his family. The soldiers are then forced to become cowboys and form a wagon train. They travel through snowstorms, rough rivers, and outlaw attacks. They drive thousands of horses and cows through the Midwest fighting wolves, coyotes, and more and finally find their homesteads in North Dakota. 14 Hands to Freedom will make you laugh, and it will make you cry, but mostly, it will make you want to see what's next for Captain and his community of Germans from Russia!
