To Dong-hyuk Shin, survivor and brave friend. I owe Amy Lee and Kye Myeong Lee all my gratitude and love. To all the great, brave women in my life—I wouldn’t have made it all the way here without you.
The nonprofit organizations Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights and Justice for North Korea do inspiring work devoted to the safety and resettlement of North Koreans fleeing their country, and also created international awareness about the human rights crisis at a time when few knew or cared.
For their generous support, I am indebted to the Toji Cultural Center, the American Academy in Rome, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
