SynopsisIn 2011, Catherine Oxenberg went to a Nxivm leadership seminar with her oldest daughter. India, then nineteen, was a novice entrepreneur on the verge of starting her own company; Nxivm's timely Executive Success Programs promised to sharpen her business skills and give her an edge in the workforce. But what began as a simple mother-daughter bonding activity quickly turned into a mother's worst nightmare. Nxivm appeared to be a standard self-help organization, encouraging its clients to become the best versions of themselves. But lurking behind the seminars and exercises was a much darker, nefarious purpose. Catherine watched in horror as her beloved daughter fell under the spell of Nxivm's hypnotic leader, Keith Raniere. India was drawn deeper into the cult, eventually joining the elite, secret inner circle. This covert "sorority" was a barbaric system designed by Keith in which women became "slaves" overseen by "masters." These women were pressured to bend to Keith's every twisted whim. If they disobeyed, they could be punished-ordered to run forty miles a week. Keith insisted that they live off a starvation diet of five to eight hundred calories a day, and to show their allegiance, they were often branded with Keith's initials. Catherine had to endure seeing her once-vibrant daughter turn into a confused shell of her former self. In Captive, Catherine Oxenberg shares her harrowing personal experience and shows the lengths that a mother will go to save her child. Featuring the horrifying stories of members who have escaped this cult, Oxenberg draws back the curtain on their shocking activities and how they lured their victims in. With a new afterword giving an update on India and what's happened to Keith, Captive is a fascinating journey into the dark world of a dangerous cult. Book jacket., Including a new afterword, Captive is an emotional, ripped-from-the-headlines exposé that lays bare the inner workings of the secretive NXIVM cult that shocked the world. I am a mother whose child is being abused and exploited. And I am not alone . In 2011, former Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg joined her daughter, India, at a leadership seminar for a new organization called NXIVM. Her then twenty-year-old daughter was on the threshold of starting her own professional life and they both thought this program might help her achieve her dream. But quickly, Catherine saw a sinister side to the program that claimed to simply want to help its clients become the best versions of themselves. Catherine watched in horror as her daughter fell further and further down the rabbit hole, falling under the spell of NXIVM's hypnotic leader, Keith Raniere. Despite Catherine's best efforts, India was drawn deeper into the cult, eventually joining an elite "sorority" of women members who were ordered to maintain a restricted diet, recruit other women as "slaves," and were branded with their leader's initials. In Captive , Catherine shares every parent's worst nightmare, and the lengths that a mother will go to save her child. Catherine's efforts finally led the FBI to take notice--and the journey is not yet over. A powerful depiction of a mother's love and determination, and with horrifying insider details never revealed in any news story, Captive will keep you reading until the very last page., Now updated with a new afterword, Captive is an emotional, ripped-from-the-headlines expos that lays bare the secretive cult that shocked the world--for fans of Leah Remini's Troublemaker and Lawrence Wright's Going Clear .
