Through careful manipulation and psychological bullying this self-styled guru created an environment in which he and others were able to prey on the vulnerable, especially the young, at will. During her four years there the author was pressured and manipulated into inappropriate and at times frightening situations by many of its adult members including its counsellors. Free sexuality was strongly encouraged, including between different age groups, and to resist was actively discouraged. There was no way to escape. Sometimes she was given drugs and was told at the time they were a treat. Now an adult, she sees only darkness behind the intention in giving them to her, a child. Due to the sensitive nature of this book, the author has chosen to use a pseudonym to protect her privacy and that of others. This is her story, the first account of life inside the confines of the Centrepoint Community"--Back cover.
