While Time Remains

A North Korean Girl's Search for Freedom in America

By: Yeonmi Park

Narrated by: Maureen Taylor

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.

Wonderful and Humbling

Such a wonderful insight from such a young woman. She truly deserves better from our educational institutions. Our youth deserves better and America deserves better. Highly recommended to everyone and should be required reading for our high school students

Great Book!

I really like how this book reaches out to the reader and makes you think and reflect what your consuming, if given the chance read or listen to this book!

Wake up America!

This remarkable book should be assigned reading for all High School students and their teachers AND their parents. It is a heartfelt call to duty for all of us lucky American citizens who need to act quickly to protect our unique country. Read or listen to this book and share it with your friends.

Shocking, liberating and TRUE

I clung to every word read within this audible. From the stories regarding N. Korea, Columbia U. & America today. My heart agreed with her assessments and my mind was shocked to find out about what is happening to people in Korea & China. Dear Author: THANK YOU for speaking to us #Warriors

Compelling and eye opening read.

Frightening and sobering but leaves you with a hopeful opportunity to make a difference for the future. Park’s story is one that should be front and center in the discussion of human rights, but is marginalized because of the implications her account has on China. A must read for anyone who cares about the future of the US.

Every person that can see our country disintegrating needs to read this.

Seeing the rapid deterioration of our constitutional freedoms by some very foolish people, I have felt sometimes very helpless to combat it.
Yeonmi Park has seen clearly what I have been feeling and spells out what is happening with great insight.
Her courage to speak out is a beacon to all that value what America is and want to save our Country, while there is still time.
I see Canada is falling quickly under Trudeau’s communist agenda with his admiration of China, and America is working hard at following the same path.
Understanding this young woman’s history can help us see our path forward more clearly out of the mess we are living with in 2023.
I am very grateful for this book and hope it will be read by all who honestly believe socialism is good. They are but the latest batch of dreamers to fall for totalitarian lures that lead to horrific dictatorships.

Everyone needs to read this!!!

This is an absolutely amazing book and story that everyone needs to read. Thank you for writing it.

Amazing life Story and Outlook

Yeonmi is a resilient human being and I am thankful for the lessons she is learned throughout life and that she is willing and able to share them with us. Her outlook on life is nothing short of phenomenal. The way she can connect her personal struggles to greater concepts is very thought provoking. It seems she has put much thought and care into how she delivers every message. The fact that people who know what happened to her and what is still happening to North Koreans will not let her speak at events is maddening and heartbreaking. I'm thankful she continues to share her story anyway she can.
I drove for the last 30min of my trip in silence after finishing this book just so I could properly reflect on all the things she wrote about. I didn't care for the narrator's voice, that's my only reason not everything was 5 stars.

Wonderful story of survival

A must read for the younger generations that have became weak and woke. A story from the heart that keeps you reading.

Very informative story on North Korea and china

Everyone should read this book. Thought provoking. Much of this I did not know. A unique perceptive from someone who escaped from North Korea to the us ny way of china
