Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue. That was nev--er more evident than in 2013, when Remini loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology. Now, in this frank, funny, poignant memoir, the former King of Queens star reveals the in-depth details of her painful split with the church and its controversial practices. Indoctrinated into Scientolo--gy 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 ac--tress and advancing Scientology's causes grew increasingly intertwined. As an adult, she found the success she'd worked so hard for, and with it a prominent place in the hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists, such as Tom Cruise. But when she began to raise questions about some of the church's actions, she was declared to be a threat and therefore a "Suppressive Per--son." As a result, all of her fellow parishioners-including members of her own family-were told to disconnect from her. Forever. Bold, brash, and bravely confessional, Troublemaker reveals the hard-won truths of a life lived honestly-from an author unafraid of the consequences.

The description of her TV career is interesting, and in spite of some difficult times she's generous to her former colleagues. The description of her Scientology experience is fascinating and harrowing. Having grown up in the organization (I can't call it a church), she had noting to compare it to. Her accounts of members being actively encouraged to report on family and friends, of emotional and physical punishments inflicted by the organization, including banishment to camps and other far away sites, are eerily similar to accounts from the former USSR & from communist China. The church cuts members off from the real world and cultivates tremendous fear. She realized after she left that many people and companies flourish in spite of not being Scientologists.
