Since their homecoming, Laura says she is still close to Euna Lee. "Euna is doing well. We talk frequently," Laura says. "She's spending a lot of time with her husband, Michael, and their adorable daughter."

Laura says Euna is also working on a book detailing her experience in North Korea. "Euna and I spent a total of six days together in captivity, and I will forever regard Euna as a member of our family. But Euna has a different story to tell," she says. "So she'll be writing about how she got through that, and I'm anxious to read what she has to say."
