Trapped tells the story of a young woman, recently graduated from an Eastern college and teaching in a small New Mexico town who follows her boyfriend into joining the Druids, a pseudo-religious cult in the desert. While living in the remote arid landscape, her mind and body are controlled by the cult leaders who take away her possessions, her boyfriend, connections to her past, and even her identity by giving her a new name. After six months, with the help and love of her family, she escapes, but for the next forty years learns to live with the trauma and scars as a victim of cult mind control. Today, disparate groups and their fervent followers tout ideologies that prey on human vulnerability using mind control techniques to advance their agendas making Trapped an important book for all ages to read and discuss.
