Captive: A Mother's Crusade to Save Her Daughter from the Terrifying Cult Nxivm by Catherine Oxenberg

2.0

Maybe my opinions will change as this book sits with me. I just felt that it was much more about "the Mother" and not really about the Daughter. She is responsible for introducing this cult to her child and even tried to convince her ex-husband and other two daughters to join. If she had doubts from the first-class, then why continue with three sets of classes? I have a morbid curiosity about cults, but I should have read a book from someone on the inside rather than on the outside. What she did with helping to bring the cult down is admirable, and I do not doubt that, however, a lot of the good is overshadowed by what seems to be outright selfishness.
