      abstract = {Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue.  That willingness to speak her mind, stand her ground, and  rattle the occasional cage has enabled this tough-talking  girl from Brooklyn to forge an enduring and successful  career in Hollywood. But being a troublemaker has come at a  cost. That was never more evident than in 2013, when Remini  loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology.  Now, in this frank memoir, the former King of Queens star  opens up about that experience, revealing the details of  her painful split with the church and its controversial  practices. Indoctrinated into the church 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 actress and advancing Scientology's causes grew  increasingly intertwined. She found the success she'd  worked so hard for, and with it a prominent place in the  hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists alongside people such  as Tom Cruise, Scientology's most high-profile adherent.  But when she began to raise questions about some of the  church's actions, she found herself a target. In the end,  she was declared by the church to be a threat to their  organization and therefore a "Suppressive Person," and all  of her fellow parishioners -- including members of her own  family -- were told to disconnect from her. Forever.},
