Eunsun Kim was born in North Korea, one of the most secretive and oppressive countries in the modern world. As a child, Eunsun loved her country...despite her school field trips to public executions, daily self-criticism sessions, and the increasing gnaw of hunger as the countrywide famine escalated. By the time she was 11 years old, Eunsun's father and grandparents had died of starvation, and Eunsun too was in danger of starving. Finally her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister.

Dette er den rørende selvbiografi om 11-årige Eunsun Kim, hvis familie er efterladt til den nordkoreanske sults fangearme, men formår at flygte. "Min vej ud af Nordkorea" portrættere et skræmmende Nordkorea, der i 1998 er ramt af en absolut hungersnød, som tager det ene liv efter det andet. Eunsun Kim lever under disse omstændigheder, indtil hendes mor tager den drastiske beslutning at flygte med sine børn. Det bliver en lang flugt, og historien herom er både gribende og hård at læse.
