Michelle LeClair
The revelatory memoir by former "poster girl for Scientology" Michelle LeClair about her defection from the Church, her newly accepted sexual identity, and the lengths to which Scientology went to silence it.
For years, Michelle LeClair, former president of Scientology's international humanitarian organization, tried to reconcile her same-sex attraction with the anti-gay ideology of the church. Michelle finally ends her horrific marriage, finds the love of her life, a woman, and ultimately leaves the Church. But the split comes at a terrible price. Her once pristine reputation is publicly dragged through the mud, the police raid her home, her ex-husband tries to gain full custody of their children, and the multi-million dollar business she built from scratch is utterly destroyed.
In this tell-all memoir, Michelle offers an insider's perspective on Scientology's pervasive influence, secret rituals, and ruthless practices for keeping members in line. It's a story of self-acceptance, of finding the strength and courage to stand up for your emotional freedom, and of love prevailing.

Critic reviews
"LeClair’s straight-forward, compulsively readable account of all this is fascinating, as it takes readers into the oft-shrouded world of Scientology, its controlling techniques, its obsession with money, and more." (Booklist)

Also, I was confused as to why she refers to her girlfriend as Charlie when her real name is Tena Clark and like many readers, I am not convinced she was innocent of the Ponzi scheme but, she was blind to the misdeeds of Scientology so maybe she is just had her head in the sand.
All that said, the book is worth a read or a listen.
Another example of the evil of some religions

Thank you for baring your heart and especially for recording this audio book for disabled people like me.
You made me laugh, cry, cheer and feel anger. At times, it was almost too painful to hear, I can't begin to imagine what it was like to endure....
The ending is so deeply satisfying, it made the hard times worth it. When you looked into the sun, I could feel it on my face, happy tears in my eyes. And then you saw the Angel and my heart burst open.
This Journey with you was deeply disturbing and inspiring, full of ugliness and beauty, betrayl and Love, perseverance and Hope!
May you, your beloved and your precious children be blessed with decades of Joy and Love. Sending a protective Circle from Mother Earth to watch over you all, especially Sage - who walks in 2 worlds.
With deep admiration,
Alena

The book clarifies so much of Michelle’s story & is an eye opening view of what it’s like to be gay in Scientology.
