Flunk, start : reclaiming my decade lost in Scientology / Sands Hall.
Hall chronicles her slow yet willing absorption into the Church of Scientology. Her time in the Church, the 1980s, includes the secretive illness and death of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and the ascension of David Miscavige. A young woman from a literary family, she was drawn toward the certainty that Scientology appears to offer after her brother's tragic fall from a bridge. But as Hall began to grasp how purposefully Hubbard has created the unique language of Scientology, isolating and indoctrinating its practitioners, she confronted how language can also be used as a tool of authoritarianism.
