#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An eye-opening, no-holds-barred memoir about life in the Church of Scientology, now with a new afterword by the author--the outspoken actress and star of the A&E docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath

Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue. That willingness to speak her mind, stand her ground, and rattle the occasional cage has enabled this tough-talking girl from Brooklyn to forge an enduring and successful career in Hollywood. But being a troublemaker has come at a cost.

That was never more evident than in 2013, when Remini loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology. Now, in this frank, funny, poignant memoir, the former King of Queens star opens up about that experience for the first time, revealing the in-depth details of her painful split with the church and its controversial practices.

Indoctrinated into the church as a child while living with her mother and sister in New York, Remini eventually moved to Los Angeles, where her dreams of becoming an actress and advancing Scientology's causes grew increasingly intertwined. As an adult, she found the success she'd worked so hard for, and with it a prominent place in the hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists alongside people such as Tom Cruise, Scientology's most high-profile adherent. Remini spent time directly with Cruise and was included among the guests at his 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.

But when she began to raise questions about some of the church's actions, she found herself a target. In the end, she was declared by the church to be a threat to their organization and therefore a "Suppressive Person," and as a result, all of her fellow parishioners--including members of her own family--were told to disconnect from her. Forever.

Bold, brash, and bravely confessional, Troublemaker chronicles Leah Remini's remarkable journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom, both for herself and for her family. This is a memoir designed to reveal the hard-won truths of a life lived honestly--from an author unafraid of the consequences.

Praise for Troublemaker

"An aggressively honest memoir . . . Troublemaker is the most raw and revealing Scientology memoir to date."--Entertainment Weekly

"Leah's story is a juicy, inside-Hollywood read, but it's more than that. It's a moving story about the value of questioning authority and how one woman survived a profound crisis of faith."--People

Quality is not there, I am very disappointed!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I am one of those very rare ladies that will wait until her previous purse is on its last leg before I buy a new one. That is when I decided I needed this one. Once I opened the package I noticed a very distinct odor, it was very obviously the purse and it was not a "new" smell it was very off-putting. The purse does not seem very durable as I noticed loose threads throughout the lining of the purse. I was also a little disappointed that this purse is so large but it only had one very large square pocket on the inside. The only reason I gave this more than one star is because of the two very nice pockets on the purse front. I appreciate what they were trying to do, I do not think they were quite up to par on the quality, I would not recommend this item.

Beautifully Branded and Roomy Tote Bag
This bag arrived well packaged. It was enclosed in a plastic sleeve that had a cardboard insert covering 2 sides of the bag. The bag was also inside a cloth type bag that is usually reserved for expensive purses/bags. There was also protective material covering the bag’s handle and clasp. The packaging protected the bag and there were no damage when received. When I removed the bag from its packaging, the “NK” excited and confused me. At first glance, I thought that I had mistakenly received THE designer bag with similar logo branding. There are decorative zippers on the front of the bag which uniquely camouflage 2 roomy front pockets. This was a great idea since it enables me to store items there (keys, coin purse, mints) without having to enter the bag’s main compartment to retrieve them. The closing clasps operate without incident and compliment the look of the bag. The handle allows you to throw it over the shoulder or just carry in your hands. The inside is very roomy, is nicely lined and has a pocket where you can slip items in so they don’t get lost inside the bag. The roominess of the bag reminds me more of a tote bag than a purse. Overall, this is a really nice bag that I am proud to own.

Trendy And Well Made Purse!
This is a take on a very popular style, and fairly well done. As you can see photographed here, this is a reasonably large-sized purse which you could use to and from the office, or almost as a day bag. The clasping mechanism on the top is cute, it ensures everything is contained and naturally folds the top over to give you a little bit more room under the arm. The metal accents and zippers are well done. The material feels nice although it does have a slight off gassing initially so you might want to air it out the first day. Otherwise reasonable construction and quality give this an easy five stars.

Stylish, Spacious, and Perfectly Chic!
The GEMIU Women’s Large Logo-Print Hobo Shoulder Bag is absolutely amazing! The design is trendy and fashionable, making it a standout accessory for any outfit. It’s surprisingly spacious, easily holding all my essentials without feeling bulky. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the bag feels well-made and durable for daily use. I also love the quality of the materials—they look high-end and are built to last. This bag perfectly combines style and practicality, and I’ve already received so many compliments on it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chic, versatile handbag!

Cute and roomy
This is a roomy and well made purse. It's a modern and chic style as well. The print is well made and the materials are good. It isn't really stiff but does have structure. The straps are stitched nicely and made of a medium brown leather like material. It's a really cute bag that is decently made so it's a great price for the value.
