Surviving Hollywood and Scientology

This had been on my "to read" list for years, after watching her A&E series, I finally read it! This is a perfect companion piece to "Going Clear....." because it's such a personal story. Leah was brought to Scientology by her Mother as a youngster. She and her sister were indoctrinated in their early teens and it seemed a dream come true. She speaks candidly about the faith and why it could be helpful to some people. She really takes umbrage when another celebrity (T. Cruise--we're talking to YOU!) had "taken over her religion". This is when the blinders come off and she sees everything with new eyes. Her family left with her, so that in and of itself is a happy ending. I'd expect her next book to be about the process of re-integrating into "regular" society.
