I read this book earlier this year. What an Eye Opener! How awful to be living a big lie - day after day, year after year in N. Korea! I'm very glad to learn that this couple made it to the USA and have found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I read the book, I kept hoping that they had.

In a world where fake news fill our daily life it is hard to know what is real what is not. As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and a convert I can see truth in this story because of my own personal experiences leaving my country of birth. It is not important if you believe it or not but what is important is to know that God will reward all righteousness from his children and give each and everyone what we have earned during our time on earth. Justice will prevail since Jesus has been appointed as our judge and Saviour.

Thank you for teaching me that courage has a voice and for reminding us that tyranny must be left behind.

Such a poignant story. Thank you for sharing it and how dramatically your lives changed once you escaped that terrible regime. All the best with your dear family now.

What a great story you have given of strength and courage. Freedom is such a sacred commodity. I can’t even imagine what you and your wife endured. Grateful you have hope and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
