award-winning author Alana Terry, is a story of persecution and triumph set in the
oppressive North Korean regime.
The Beloved Daughter

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.

audiobook narrated by
four-time Audie award-winner Kathy Garver.
My Thoughts:
This book inspired my heart in a way that no other book has. It is not the kind I typically read, but I'm thankful it came my way anyway. Alana Terry has written a wonderfully gripping and intense story about a young woman's years in a prison camp and her journey of faith through it and beyond it. It challenged my faith and opened my heart to questions I don't often explore.
Her characters are vivid and powerfully written. Her story is easy to follow and pulls you in to the slow but steady drama.
The tension of the violent camp and the persecution written throughout the story was not graphic as I might have thought. Instead it is written through the perception of the main character, in a first person point of view. I enjoyed this format. It made the story alive and vibrant in my mind without being graphic and gory.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in powerful, emotion stories that read as inviting and personal as a biography.
Excellent!
The Beloved Daughter has non-graphic violence and adult situations handled in a PG-13 way. It is not recommended for young teens because of its intensity.
Thank you to the author for a free audio copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
