|summary=From North Korea to a different kind of exploitation in the west, we follow four helpless young women. There's a plot solid enough to keep you reading, but the writing doesn't live up to the hype.

Gyong-Ho is a seamstress. That's not a euphemism. She works at a machine in a garment factory, with a bullying supervisor, invalided out of the glorious Chochun army, limping around and terrifying the girls only slightly more than the picture of Kim Jong-il on the walls. Gi, a nickname she'll acquire because of her stammering attempts to get her own name out (Gi-Gi-Gyong) strives truly hard to be worthy of the Dear Leader. She has learned the hard way, what happens if someone somewhere for some obscure reason decides that you're not.

For a non-fiction of the world where our girls start out, the definitive reading still seems to be [[This Is Paradise by Hyok Kang]]
