520 "A searing story of starvation and survival in North Korea,
followed by a dramatic escape, rescue by activists and
Christian missionaries, and success in the United States
thanks to newfound faith and courage. 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. Alone on the streets,
Joseph learned to beg and steal. He had nothing but a
street-hardened survival instinct. Finally, in desperation,
he too crossed a frozen river to escape to China. There a
kindly Christian woman took him in, kept him hidden from
the authorities, and gave him hope. Soon, through an
underground network of activists, he was spirited to the
American consulate, and became one of just a handful of
North Koreans to be brought to the U.S. as refugees.
Joseph knew no English and had never been a good student.
Yet the kindness of his foster family changed his life.
Determined to succeed, he became a dedicated student,
mastered English, and made it to college, where he is now
thriving thanks to his faith and inner strength. Under the
Same Sky is an unforgettable story of suffering and
redemption"--|cProvided by publisher.
