    Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology
    • Leah Remini has always been outspoken, a trait that has helped her build a successful career in Hollywood. However, her candid nature came with challenges, especially evident in 2013 when she publicly severed ties with the Church of Scientology. In this honest memoir, the former 'King of Queens' star shares her painful experience of leaving the church and its controversial practices. Raised in Scientology from a young age in New York, Remini later moved to Los Angeles, where her aspirations as an actress and her commitment to the church became increasingly intertwined. She achieved the success she desired and gained a prominent position among celebrity Scientologists, including Tom Cruise. Yet, as she began to question some of the church's actions, she became a target. Ultimately, the church labeled her a "Suppressive Person," prompting fellow parishioners, including family members, to cut ties with her permanently. This bold and confessional narrative unveils the hard-won truths of a life lived authentically, showcasing an author unafraid of the repercussions.
