One Sister’s Captivity in North Korea and the Other’s Fight to Bring Her Home
On March 17, 2009, Laura Ling and her colleague Euna Lee were working on a documentary about North Korean defectors who were fleeing the desperate conditions in their homeland. While filming on the Chinese/North Korean border, they were chased down by North Korean soldiers who violently apprehended them. Laura and Euna were charged with trespassing and "hostile acts", and imprisoned by Kim Jong Il's notoriously secretive Communist state.
Kept totally apart, they endured months of interrogations and eventually a trial before North Korea's highest court. They were the first Americans ever to be sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in a prison camp in North Korea.
When news of the arrest reached Laura's sister, journalist Lisa Ling, she immediately began a campaign to get her sister released, one that led her from the State Department to the higher echelons of the media world and eventually to the White House.
Somewhere Inside reveals for the first time Laura's gripping account of what really happened on the river, her treatment at the hands of North Korean guards, and the deprivations and rounds of harrowing interrogations she endured.
Told in the sisters' alternating voices, Somewhere Inside is a timely, inspiring tale of survival set against the canvas of international politics that goes beyond the headlines to reveal the impact on lives engulfed by forces beyond their control. But it is also a window into the unique bond these two sisters have always shared, a bond that sustained them throughout the most horrifying ordeal of their lives.

Took a bit - but I loved it

Like many people, I didn't know the full story of what happened to Laura to begin with. It's sad that people might be critical of what she did. However, we all make mistakes for which we regret greatly. She did what many of us do, and that is trust the wrong person. We all get focused on one thing and let our guard down.
I appreciate how from each of them they showed gratefulness toward the people in their lives who supported and helped them in different ways throughout this horrendous experience.
The book is well written and they do a fantastic job of narrating. I highly recommend it!

I wonder how many more journalists, reports, students, religious educators are being held prisoner?
I have always loved following the hard-work, dedication and honesty of Lisa. Her
Compassion and passion are absolutely genuine.
This raw exposure to the brutality and bulling of the north Korean regime made me angry. What they did to these two American women was a disgrace. Laura, I want to hug you, celebrate your life and thank you and Lisa for being so tough. I need to go back and educate myself in international relationships and our America.
Good bless you three and your families who caught for your freedoms and for former VP Gore.
I did have to do a little follow up on your current life and my heart celebrates with your families.
I am so sorry….
