Effectively orphaned, she and two siblings had to make their life in Pyongyang. At military boarding school, Monica learned to mix with older children, speak fluent Korean and handle weapons on training exercises.Reaching adulthood, she went in search of her roots.

Optimistic yet unflinching, Monica’s astonishing and unique story challenges us to see the world through different eyes.
