Laura Johnston Kohl was born in Washington, D.C. She actively fought for civil rights and free speech, and against the Vietnam War throughout the 1960s. After trying to effect change single-handedly, she found she needed more hands. She joined Peoples Temple in 1970, living and working in the progressive religious movement in both California and Guyana. A fluke saved her from the mass murders and suicides on November 18, 1978, when 913 of her beloved friends died in Jonestown.

Oblivious! I want my money back.
Revisado: 10-25-23
I could only get through the first few chapters before I realized this woman is hopelessly in denial and clueless as to what happened in this cult.
I could not get past the 4th chapter. I didn't even get to the part about Jim pointing a gun at her for falling asleep, but I saw an interview on YouTube with her talking about it, and she was totally unphased by it, and didn't believe he would do it. Whether she thought he would or wouldn't, the fact that he pointed a gun at her face would've been enough for me to get the hell out of there, and fast. I tried skipping ahead a few chapters, but it was more of the same cluelessness of how wonderful Gayana was and continued to turn my stomach.
It's very disturbing to listen to her account. It's people like this who really scare me. A total follower and someone who cannot think for themselves. And the people who called this book a beautiful story or simply "another point of view they found interesting", it is a total slap in the face to the hundreds of people who were abused, brainwashed, tortured and eventually murdered by a maniacal psychopath.
Wish I had read the reviews before buying this audiobook, I would never have purchased it.

In 1971 Paulette Cooper wrote a scathing book about the Church of Scientology. Desperate to shut the book down, Scientology unleashed on her one of the most sinister personal campaigns the free world has ever known. The onslaught, which lasted years, ruined her life and drove her to the brink of suicide. The story of Paulette's terrifying ordeal is told in full for the first time in The Unbreakable Miss Lovely.

Great book, but had audio problems
Revisado: 05-17-19
I was captivated by the content and the detail was incredible. The only criticism I have is that the audio recording continually cut off the end of certain words especially words that ended with an S. Not sure whether it was the recording or my device but you might want to check that. I listened on an iPhone 7.
