In 2009, journalist Euna Lee traveled to South Korea and China to make a documentary about North Korean defectors. However, her plans changed dramatically when she and a fellow American journalist were captured by North Korean soldiers and detained for five months. A Christian who believes that telling defectors’ stories is “God’s calling” for her, Lee nevertheless struggled to trust in God’s protection, provision, and timing while detained. , which reads like a novel, challenges Christians to trust God no matter what their circumstances are.
