I read a reference to this book in a Saturday national newspaper.
Immediately I asked my local library to please obtain a copy. To my surprise I received a copy quite quickly. On the front cover is a portrait of this beautiful young lady who is clearly a most determined, intelligent person who has achieved so much within a few years. Despite so little education at first she has avidly caught up almost on everything and has been studying for a degree in criminal law in South Korea. This book has made her the right sort of celebrity, having suffered so much in her life from a child, and now truthfully telling her story.
