A Must Read : North Korean Defector's Journey to Freedom

Lee Hyeon-seo's book, "The Girl with seven names" tells her story of escape from North Korea and later on helping her family reach South Korea. During that period of suppression and time on the run, she took up seven names. She gave a TED talk in 2013 and spoke at Oslo Freedom Forum in 2014. Lee, currently lives in Wisconsin with her husband and is hoping to get into a graduate school in United States soon. I have given a link of her TED talk from 2013 which has been viewed by around 6.7 million people.
