"And to my fellow troublemakers, I say: carry on."
This is maybe not the most autumnal book I've ever read BUT it's my most recent non-fiction read and I really did want to share it with you guys. I've never known much about Scientology as a whole until I heard about Tom Cruise and this religion of his. I have, however, liked Leah Remini for quite some time, so when I stumbled over her television documentary series, I had to pick up this book, too. If you want to know a bit more about Scientology - at least from someone who's as blunt and as upfront as Ms Remini - then I think this is definitely the book for you. Be aware, however, that it isn't going to be all honey and roses, and you should be just fine!
Indoctrinated into the church as a child while living with her mother and sister in New York, Remini eventually moved to Los Angeles, where her dreams of becoming an actress and advancing Scientology's causes grew increasingly intertwined. But when she began to raise questions about some of the church's actions, she found herself a target. In the end, she was declared by the church to be a threat to their organization and therefore a "Suppressive Person," and as a result, all of her fellow parishioners—including members of her own family—were told to disconnect from her. Forever.
