Auszeichnungen
"When recent Harvard grad Helen Zuman moved to Zendik Farm in 1999, she was thrilled to discover that the Zendiks used go-betweens to arrange sexual assignations, or "dates," in cozy shacks just big enough for a double bed and a nightstand. Here, it seemed, she could learn an honest version of the mating dance--and form a union free of "Deathculture" lies. No one spoke the truth: Arol, the Farm's matriarch, crushed any love that threatened her hold on her followers' hearts. An intimate look at a transformative cult journey, Mating in Captivity shows how stories can trap us and free us, how miracles rise out of crisis, how coercion feeds on forsaken self-trust."--Amazon.com.

A recent Harvard graduate in the late 1990s, Helen receives a grant to study communal life, and ends up visiting a number of communes. One of the communes - Zendik Farm - resonated strongly with her and she decided to stay and become part of their community.
Her description of life in the commune seems very even-handed. Nothing was all good or all bad, and she describes her personal conflict before, during and after leaving the commune.
