![]() 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. 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. That was never more evident than in 2013, when Remini loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology. But being a troublemaker has come at a cost. 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. ![]() Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue. An eye-opening, no-holds-barred memoir about life in the Church of Scientology by the outspoken actress and star of the A&E docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. ![]()

Its name was changed in 1847 to San Francisco. In 1846, the town of Yerba Buena was seized by the United States during the Mexican–American War. The prominent island directly in front of the settlement also came to be called Isla Yerba Buena at least as early as 1833, although it is not certain whether it was named for the settlement, the cove or directly for the herb. It was so abundant there that its name was also applied to the settler's town adjacent to Mission San Francisco de Asís as well as to the cove along San Francisco Bay upon which it was situated. The name was bestowed by Catholic missionaries of Alta California after native people introduced them to it. The plant's most common name, "yerba buena", the same in English and Spanish, is an alternate form of the Spanish hierba buena (meaning "good herb"). ![]() ![]() Sam makes it out of the encounter alive, but Douglas isn’t done with him.

But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand.
