Jenna Miscavige Hill was raised by parents who joined the church of Scientology, and was literally brought up living in various Church of Scientology properties. She chronicles her childhood, young adulthood, her marriage, and ultimately her escape from Scientology. She experienced brain washing, mind control, separation from her parents and ongoing emotional term oil.

This book reads like a psychological thriller. I wanted to read it because I've seen news articles and journalistic pieces concerning Scientology lately. If the subject interests you, or if you simply want to read a well-written memoir, I recommend this book.
