The Beloved Daughter

Synopsis: In a small North Korean village, a young girl struggles to survive. It is her father's faith, not the famine of North Hamyong Province, that most threatens Chung-Cha's well-being. The Beloved Daughter follows Chung-Cha into one of the most notorious prison camps the contemporary free world has known. Her crime? Being the daughter of a Christian.



The Beloved Daughter has won awards from Women of Faith and the Book Club Network. It was also a #1 amazon bestseller in Christian suspense and is the top-rated ebook in several different kindle categories. The Beloved Daughter is available in kindle or paperback. You can also get the audiobook narrated by four-time Audie award-winner Kathy Garver.

My Thoughts: First, this is not a book for the lighthearted. This is not a book for someone looking for light reading. There were times I had to stop reading because the subject is very tough.

Second, it's not always easy for an author to take a brutal subject such as Chung-Cha's time in prison camp and make it palatable for readers.

Alana Terry does a very good job of showing Chung-Cha's struggle to keep her faith and remain alive. I kept thinking to myself, "how much more does this poor girl have to endure?" And the story does evoke the reader to ask "Why, God, why?"

The story is written from Chung-Cha's point of view, and at the end, you realize she is writing a letter to her daughter. When I reached the end of the book, I was

Overall, the author does a great job of writing a poignant story, all the while weaving in a lesson we all need to learn: God has a plan for everything. He is in control, even when we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
