- Summary:
- "Jamie Mustard was born into one of the most influential fringe movements in the 1970s: Scientology. Raised on a mythology of spaceships and made to believe that it was his life's purpose to help save the world, he was determined to survive - not only neglect but also the physical and psychological gauntlets of extreme poverty and illiteracy. A dark, existential journey, Child X takes readers through Jamie's childhood and adolescence in "the movement," his escape, and his rise into self-possession. This book tells the unfathomable story of a lost generation of children, who endured mass psychological indoctrination and captivity"-- Provided by publisher.
