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.
