{"product_id":"child-x-jamie-mustard-9781637747087","title":"Child X","description":"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. With wit and vulnerability, Jamie sheds light on one of the untold, but not uncommon, accounts of a powerful Black family that rose to prominence and wealth, and how the counterculture of the 1960s and '70s caused that rise to crumble. This deeply personal true story gives a child's-eye view of one of the most notorious American religious movements in history. It powerfully places Black American history into the captivating context of world history and events. A universal story of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, Child X celebrates yet transcends race -- and is ultimately an uplifting story of rising out of adversity and building a life full of meaning and connection. With this book, Jamie works to restore his family's legacy and provide a salient saga of the road to humanity.","brand":"BenBella Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50553987694880,"sku":"9781637747087","price":22.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781637747087.jpg?v=1780694311","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/child-x-jamie-mustard-9781637747087","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
