In October 1998, Hong participated in an online interview hosted by TIME Magazine, in which she stated: "Review
Moon has been proclaiming that he has established his ideal family, and fulfilled his mission, and when I pinpointed that his family is just as dysfunctional as any other family - or more than most - then I think his theology falls apart."
In her review of the book for Cultic Studies Journal, Marcia Rudin said that due to Nansook Hong"s position within the Moon family, her story cannot simply be dismissed by cult apologists as an atrocity tale.
Rafael Martinez, the director of Spiritwatch Ministries, a Christian countercult movement organization, writes that the book is a "..painfully honest and personal reflection of her life as a bride to Hyo Jin, Moon"s eldest son.."
He was born in South of Korea and grew up in the United States in New York State. On March 17, 2008 at 9:46 am local time, Moon died of a heart attack at the Moon family home in Hannam-dong in Seoul, South of Korea.
