Sample Book Insights:
#1 North Korea is a country that has fallen out of the developed world. The country is covered in darkness, which is something that teenagers love.
#2 In the late 1990s, North Koreans would meet in the dark to escape the prying eyes of the authorities. The girl would lead her boyfriend to a hot-spring resort outside of town, where the grounds were poorly maintained but the trees were still beautiful.
#3 When I met Mi-ran, she was a 31-year old woman living in South Korea. She had defected six years earlier. I wanted to know what life was like for defectors in North Korea, so I interviewed her.
#4 In 2004, Mi-ran was a kindergarten teacher in a mining town in North Korea. She was working toward a graduate degree in education. She had a dream about her boyfriend, a South Korean civilian military employee, who had married her the previous year.
