This was a great, quick read, though not the best memoir written. It is the true story of Nansook Hong, a woman who was born into the Unification church. She was 'summoned' by Sun Myung Moon to marry his wayward son, at the tender age of 15. Hong describes her life during those miserable 14 years as imprisonment; her only comfort being her five children that she bore all before the age of 29. It is an insightful look into the 'Moonie' cult, much of which is quite disturbing to read; domestic violence, infidelity, drug and alcohol abuse, gambling, money laundering, and outright blasphemy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My former sister in law was a member of the Moonies at one time, so I was especially interested in what their whole recruitment scheme was all about. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Born in South Korea to deeply religious parents, Nansook was hand-picked at age fifteen by the Reverend Moon to marry his son, Hyo Jin, the heir to Moon’s spiritual and economic empire. Abruptly uprooted from her life in Korea, Nansook moved to the Moon family’s opulent house not far from New York City and began her sophomore year in high school, speaking no English and concealing a marriage that could have brought charges of statutory rape. Her misery quickly became complete: her husband slept with prostitutes and drank, while his parents blamed Nansook for failing to reform their wayward son. Worse still was the hypocrisy she witnessed in the lives of the Moon family, who claimed to be sinless, but indulged in adultery, illicit drugs, and eventually physical violence. This is the harrowing tale of her years as an abused wife and privileged member of a religious cult, and her fight to create a life for herself and her children beyond the shadow of the Moons.
