Story
Have you just been fired? Did that job you were hoping to get not pan out? Did you recently end up embarrassing yourself in a major way in front of people you really wanted to impress? Not to worry. There’s a way out of whatever you’re going through, and Anthony Scaramucci—or “The Mooch,” as he’s known to his friends—is the perfect person to point you in the right direction. Whatever you’re going through, he’s been through it already. Probably twice. And he’s learned a whole lot of lessons along the way.

Anne grew up in an abusive home, leading to severe depression and a determination to do better as a mother. One of her sons wants a dog from the time he is a baby; Anne very much does not. For years she appeases him with creatures who live in cages and tanks, but on his tenth birthday she can no longer say no—and she proceeds to fall in love with their new four-legged family member, Mattie. Then Mattie dies a sudden and tragic death, and Anne feels herself begin to sink back into depression.

Publisher's Summary
This memoir presents one human story, crafted into art by the power of words. Elisha's carefully planned life collapses with the breakup of a relationship she had built her life around, sending her on a journey into the depths of the global sexy Tantra scene. Wild Thing in Captivity is Eat, Pray, Love for Tantra. It's a coming-of-middle-age tale for Generation X.
In this detective story about how to identify and heal our wounds, Elisha examines her life through the lens of her core wound. There is nothing else like this, with its uniquely candid view of the female sexual experience. It's about why relationships fail and how we might keep them alive, from the lens of both science and spirituality.
Elisha Daeva is a scientist, scholar, and seeker. Since her degree in Human Biology with a focus on Consciousness, she has studied the human animal through psychology, ancient culture, and esoterica.
Critic Reviews
