For Kathy, acceptance into the group fills a void in her lonely life; for Anne, the group presents the ultimate threat to a daughter she's tried to protect ever since her father died years ago
Anne and Renee, Kathy's only friend, try desperately to reason with Kathy, renamed Moongirl
When Kathy decides to move to Ely's "starbase," Anne contacts Sylvia Russell, who specializes in deprogramming cult victims
Although Kathy is sent home, bridging the gap that has widened between the mother and daughter seems impossible until a shattering climax forces Kathy to decide in which world she belongs
Moongirl powerfully and constructively explores the choices facing young people today
While the contemporary problem of cults provides the background, Moongirl focuses on the characters and the universal themes of parent and child, of freedoms and limits
Especially powerful roles for women
