Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart.

After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats.

In While Time Remains, Park highlights the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently.

Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.

Goodreads review by D on February 17, 2023

The ghostwriter here inserts their own woke propaganda into the book, not sure if Yeonmi agrees or even knows this happened. For example, the word "Black" is always capitalized and the word "white" is always lower case, to demonstrate that black people are inherently better and more equal than white......more

Goodreads review by Tessa on February 16, 2023

An amazing book. Not exactly joyful, but despite all the horror, there is hope to be found. There is much to be said of the complicity of China in supporting North Korea’s “modern day Holocaust” and the willful blindness of the American elite to continue relationships in all respects, for you guesse......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on April 20, 2023

I read Park’s first book and was in awe of her bravery. Being an escapee from North Korea is something many try and unfortunately do not live to tell about. For Park she has told about it and is now telling us more in her latest book. Park is a human rights advocate spreading information on what rea......more

This was such a downgrade compared to her first book ....It gave off the impression that this was merely a part of a political agenda of some sorts..........more

Goodreads review by Steven on June 13, 2023

I first heard of Yeonmi Park, the North Korean defector, as many others did on the Joe Rogan podcast. Her story was horrifying and shocking, so when I saw that she'd published a book (her second, I later learned) I flipped through it and was immediately intrigued. First of all, I don't agree with man......more
