Beyond belief

my secret life inside Scientology and my harrowing escape
The niece of controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige presents a tell-all memoir about her life in the Church of Scientology. The author was raised as a Scientologist but left the controversial religion in 2005.

Complete with family photographs from her time in the Church, the author, a prominent critic of Scientology who now helps others leave the organization, offers an insider's profile of the beliefs, rituals, and secrets of the religion that has captured the fascination of millions, including some of Hollywood's brightest stars such as Kirstie Alley, Tom Cruise, and John Travolta.
