by Pamela Nickel Williams (Author)
Pamela Nickel Williams was born into Scientology. Her parents were early Scientologists who worked closely with L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology's founder, at the first Church of Scientology in the late 1950's. Pamela and her parents were practicing members of the church until the late 1970's. After years of burying her childhood memories, Pamela began writing and documenting her experiences, seeking to acknowledge the abuse she suffered, and to try and understand the dysfunction that existed within her family due to Scientology's beliefs and practices.
Her memoir, Clearly Lies Are True, is a powerful and compelling first-hand narrative account of her experiences as a child during the early inception of Scientology. As both a cult survivor, and a survivor of sexual abuse, her book chronicles her parents' search for "Total Freedom," her sexual abuse at the hands of her father, and her mother's psychosis, which was brought about by Scientology.
