In 2011, Catherine Oxenberg went to a Nxivm seminar with her oldest daughter. India, then twenty, was a novice entrepreneur on the verge of starting her own company; the 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. On the surface, Nxivm appeared to be a standard self-help organization, encouraging its clients to become the best versions of themselves. But there was a much darker, nefarious purpose lurking behind the seminars and exercises. Catherine watched in horror as her beloved 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 society, eventually joining the elite, secret inner-circle section. This covert "sorority" was a barbaric system designed by Keith in which women seemed to become "slaves" overseen by "masters." These women were pressured to bend to Keith's every twisted whim. If they disobeyed, they could be punished and 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 branded with Keith's initials upon joining. Catherine had to endure seeing her once-vibrant twenty-six-year-old daughter turn into what she saw as the unwitting victim of a depraved control maniac. In [this book], Catherine Oxenberg shares her harrowing personal experience and the lengths that a mother will go to save her child and bring Keith and his sinister organization down. Featuring the horrifying stories of members who have escaped, Oxenberg draws back the curtain on Nxivm's reprehensible activities and how they lured their victims in. Captive is a fascinating and terrifying journey into a dark and dangerous world."--Jacket.;"In 2011, Catherine joined her da
