| 520 | |a At age six, Katherine Spallino is separated from her parents and sent to train for her future in the Church of Scientology's clergy-the Sea Organization. Naively happy at first, she thinks it's a fun adventure to live in a Scientology-owned dorm room in Los Angeles with thirteen other girls, rarely seeing her parents and never going to a normal school. She's committed to her Scientology studies and her life's purpose of clearing the planet. Later, Katherine is sent to live at a secluded ranch with other young prospective Sea Org members, called cadets, where she studies Scientology and does manual labor-weeding fields, digging trenches, and working in the galley. The indoctrination escalates, and her family slips even farther into the background. But as she enters her teenage years, a host of new, more immediate concerns emerge-namely boys, popularity, fits of rebellion, and fantasies of what else life has to offer. As the Sea Org beckons, the fundamental question intensifies-should she commit herself to the church, or reject everything she's ever known for a chance at a different life? | ||
