Confessions of an Ex-Scientologist Pothead

Born in. Sparked Up. Got out.

by Liz Gale

Liz Gale gives an enthralling account of growing up a third-generation Scientologist, the mind-bending secret scriptures that dictated her upbringing, and the haunting scandals that gave her the courage to break free.

From her first breath, Liz is destined for life within the mysterious world of Scientology. Indoctrination lurks behind every corner as she shuffled between an elite boarding school, eccentric churches and a family of true believers.

When her teenage brother’s sudden death sparks a national controversy, Liz begins to ask dangerous questions about her family’s seventy-year involvement with the organization.

The true cost of freedom becomes clear when she starts a family of her own and is forced with a gut-wrenching choice. Will she sacrifice everything to protect her children?

You bet your ass she will.
