In the mid-1980's, a utopian, but very imperfect cult, the Sen, walled itself off in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, rejecting the modern technological world. It is now 2007, and Sen offspring are plotting to infiltrate the Outside, breaking free of their parents' forced seclusion. The ethnically diverse cult, led by an African American inventor, has changed so much that to an Outsider the members might appear insane. In actuality, the group has developed self-help techniques and a spirituality that are quite needed in the fast-paced Outside. Is the Outside ready? Will the Sen culture survive?

Intertwined plots & relationships makes this book a winner!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sen, Secluded (Paperback)
I won't reveal much of the various plots--but I will say that four people who hardly know each other realize they are father & daughter! Various intertwined plots and relationships, such as that between a sick mother, her nurse daughter, and the nurse's colleaugue's best friend (they are actually a long-lost family!). The colleaugue actually has a daughter himself who, first, he did not know existed, and second, treated at the hospital. The daughter, "Infusion", is a member of the Sen, specifically part of "Plan Bridge", a secretive plan whose contents are NEVER revealed, and whose objective is to get freedom for the younger Sen members. Of course, at the center of the whole thing is the health, safety, and privacy of the illegal and secluded "Sen". A great read and well worth the price!
