The release date for the English version of 'Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology' by
Leah Remini is Nov 2015. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
The candid book from the talk show presenter, reality TV personality, and actress is a raw and candid look inside her turbulent and painful over thirty years of affiliation with the Church of Scientology.
It has never been Leah Remini's style to keep quiet. The tough-talking Brooklyn girl has established a long and prosperous career in Hollywood thanks to her ability to speak her mind, hold her ground, and even rattle the cage. However, causing problems has a price.
That was never clearer than when Remini officially and noisily left the Church of Scientology in 2013. The former King of Queens actress now speaks up about that experience for the first time in her candid, humorous, and moving book, sharing the specifics of her difficult breakup with the church and its contentious practises.
Growing up in New York with her mother and sister, Remini was indoctrinated into the church. Eventually, she relocated to Los Angeles, where her aspirations to become an actor and further the causes of Scientology were more closely entwined. As an adult, she achieved the success for which she had strived, and along with it, a prominent position in the hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists, alongside the most well-known member of the religion, Tom Cruise. Remini had intimate interaction with Cruise and attended his 2006 nuptials with Katie Holmes.
However, she found herself a target when she started to voice concerns about certain of the church's practises. She was ultimately labelled a "Suppressive Person" by the church, which meant that she posed a danger to their organisation. As a consequence, everyone in the parish, including her family, was instructed to cut off contact with her. Indefinitely.
Troublemaker, a bold, brazen, and courageously candid book, follows Leah Remini on her incredible path to spiritual and emotional liberation for her family as well as herself. This book, written by a writer who isn't scared of the repercussions, aims to expose the hard-won realities of an honest existence.
