Lovely book, this story is heartbreaking and mindblowing. Over here in Europe (I grew up in Germany), there is almost only negative publicity on Scientology and I was aware of some of the practices, but this really explains the attraction and terrible impact of Scientology on its members. I feel sympathy for Leah and all other (ex-)scientologists. The book was an easy read, with some juicy Hollywood-stories and great, realistic insights into the system of Scientology.
