Sobre IBD

The Imposters is the memoir of a young would-be writer making her way alone in Manhattan in the early 1980s. With no long-term friends and a family that is going literally bankrupt, she finds friendship and community in a tiny yoga school on Eighth Avenue run by a dynamic leader of a merry band of outsider yogis. Here, she thinks, she will find meaning and purpose. With little hesitation, she gives it her all. The tyranny of a charismatic personality is one of the most blindingly seductive. The circumstances of this journey with a small cult are unique, but the experience will resonate with anyone who has fallen prey to something or someone promising ecstasy and delivering poison.
