Klappentext"With its keen attention to the language and tactics of the church, Hall's memoir is unique among the assortment of Scientology reports and exposes, offering insight into the certainties that its subjects gain." The Nation
In the secluded canyons of 1980s Hollywood, Sands Hall, a young woman from a literary family, strives to forge her own way as an artist. But instead, Hall finds herself increasingly drawn toward the certainty that Scientology appears to offer. Her time in the Church includes the secretive illness and death of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and the ascension of David Miscavige. In this compelling memoir, Hall reveals what drew her into the religionwith its intrigues and unique contemporary visionand how she came to confront its darker sides and finally escape.
"Some of the most penetrating, illuminating prose about how an educated and skeptical person could get so deeply into, and then struggle to escape, what everyone around her warned was a dangerous cult . . . brilliant." The Underground Bunker
"If it is Scientology's offer of a life with meaning that hauls her in . . . it is its approach to meaning that keeps her . . . Hall's fascination with this is palpable." Camille Ralphs, The Times Literary Supplement
