Wow! I could not put this book down. As someone who loves to travel, but still has a lot to see and experience, I found myself living vicariously through all of the travels described in the book. I was most impressed with the author's ability to be completely honest with her thoughts and emotions and write about thoughts that might most people are afraid to say out loud. Such a touching and sweet memoir that will leave you thirsty for more!

This book is simply amazing. It is an eye-opening and very relatable read. The author writes in a way that you understand what points he is trying to make without feeling lectured. Many times I found myself laughing out loud at how ridiculously spot on his explanations were. Very knowledgeable and offers great advice to those who are open to hearing the truth.

Jan Gaye Hit this OUT OF THE PARK!  Honest and Revealing.

Having spent 30 years "in" $cientology and finally woke UP and escaped out in July of 2000,
I've always known about Paulette Cooper. However, I can say without question this is THE most
detailed, amazing, fact filled and well written biography of a tortured woman I've ever read.

As much as I am friends with the author and Paulette, honestly e v e r y single night I climb into
bed and cannot wait to learn more. This is shocking, and I am so very sorry for ever supporting
this sick organization/business pretending to be a "church": $cientology. Thank God I'm OUT.
If you have not read it: GET IT NOW! :) Much love, Tory/Magoo (ToryMagoo44 on YouTube-for my
whole story and then some). <3

This book was a great read! I loved her honesty on everything she wrote, even when it came to the stuff that she wasn't so proud of she still wrote about it honestly. I am a big fan of hers! I bought this book for myself, and one for my best friend. I highly recommend it, if you like absolute honesty, you'll love this book!

This book is very sincere and for Fiona to write about this experience took tremendous courage! Each page would bring on more curiosity and kept my interest through the whole story. I highly encourage you to read "RAW" and see a real life perspective of how one deals with the misfortune of cancer but the failure of a husband's who turned his back on his family and took his marriage vows lightly. Definitely an amazing read and encourage others to read!!!

I read this entire thing in one sitting because I simply could not put it down! They story was amazing and so painful knowing this actually happened. What courage for the author to tell her story; I applaud this. So many girls go through such horrible trauma and are afraid to talk about it so I am in awe of the courage it takes to speak out and I hope others will read this story and maybe take some of that courage. I give four stars and not five only because I found quite a few grammatical errors throughout the book. Despite this, I found the storytelling compelling and found myself really caring for the author and hoping for her safe escape from the monster who had taken over her life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I would love to learn more about this authors current life and how she is getting along after all that she went through. Thanks for sharing your incredible story with the world. You are one brave lady. Fantastic book. Im glad I picked it up.

What a memoir! What a life! What an incredible book. It is really a must-read. I can't believe this young woman lived through these experiences and still has so much love to share. She is remarkable, and so is her memoir. Thank you, Cinelle, for sharing it with us.

This is an amazing read whether you're familiar with Felicia Day or not. I'm a pretty die hard fan of Felicia's (although I don't think I'd get her autograph tattooed on my body), but almost everything in this memoir was new information to me. She comes across honest, real, hilarious, and open. I literally laughed, and cried, and laughed until tears ran down my face. I adored this. I highly recommend it. I purchased it twice--in hardcover, and on audiobook (because once the book was in my hands I couldn't bear to not hear it in the author's voice), and I got through it in one day because I couldn't step away from it.

This is a revealing and wonderful read about some one who has struggles and surmounted them, has known big happiness and severe pain-and describes his life fully with brutal honesty and real courage. You will not only be taken inside the author's family culture but furthermore, you will laugh along with his candid, and clear voice. Some memoirs like this are intolerably smug and safe. This one is genuine, and worth your time. If you want to know what it was like to grow up inside the perimeters of the RFK family, this is the book for you.

I could not put this book down! I became so interested in AJ's story that I ended up reading it in nearly one setting. I'm so proud of this woman and her courage to open up and tell her very private story.

This is an incredible book. Portia tells her story with unflinching honesty and scary detail. To be in the glare of the Hollywood spotlight for years and be able tell a story like this is truly amazing. I have long wanted to read it, and it didn't disappoint. She describes the incredible pressure of being a Hollywood actress and a model, and the completely unrealistic standards of beauty that they force on women to be stick thin. When you feel like your career and your income depend on being as thin as possible, it is easy to see how anorexia took hold of her. It took a lot of courage for her to write this book and it is worth the time to read it!

Amazing biography. Cheryl expertly weaves her travels on the PCT with her experiences in the past in a way that will quickly bring you from laughter to tears. This is an extremely heartfelt retelling of life lessons learned, while keeping things relatable for the reader. It was one of those reads that is literally hard to put down.

Deep insights into the warm and loving Bush family.  Literally could not put the book down. Jenna and Barbara alternate tales about their lives . Cleverly written and filled with anecdotes about the remarkable lives they are living. Nothing shy about these girls. No matter what your politics, you will love this candid approach to biography!

Heart Opening....tenderly written and very candid. Lorena's vulnerability and openness in sharing her journey are a joy to read. Her personal journey from selling her soul for financial security and social approval left her numb. Her her book is an honest and sometimes humorous look at the challenges she faced in regaining her footing. Her courage in life, in following her passion and in writing this book are noteworthy and personally inspiring. If she does a 2nd edition, I hope she will add in a few chapters to fill in some blank spots in the readers understanding of her journey-I had the sense she was self censoring by omission, but of course with 5 kids reading about their mom I can understand why.

Enjoyed the triumphant tone of this amazing story. Brutally honest, but couldn't put it down. Well written and vivid in its explanations.
