Author Jamie Mustard will join me in a conversation about his newest book
CHILD X: A MEMOIR OF SLAVERY, POVERTY, CELEBRITY, AND SCIENTOLOGY.
Jamie Mustard was born into one of the most influential fringe movements in the 1970s: Scientology.
Raised on a mythos of spaceships and made to believe his life’s purpose was to help save the world, he was determined to survive not only neglect but also the physical and psychological damage caused by extreme poverty and illiteracy.
“A vivid, compelling and heartrending memoir.” —Booklist
“Evocative . . . a powerful memoir that takes us down the darkest corridors of Scientology.” —Kirkus Reviews
