EXTENDED BIO Anne Gollert Hill is an author, speaker, and Scientology survivor who spent almost two decades inside the organization. Her search for answers eventually led her to the Sea Org and international management, where she worked in proximity to David Miscavige. In August 2007, she escaped with the clothes on her back and a few belongings in her purse. Leaving was only the beginning. Anne went on to rebuild her life, reclaim her identity, and learn to trust herself again. Today, she writes and speaks about coercive control, life after high-control groups, and the possibility of creating a fulfilling life on your own terms. Her forthcoming memoir is Escape to Joy: Reclaiming Identity, Strength, and Self After Scientology’s Coercive Control. THE BOOK Escape to Joy Reclaiming Identity, Strength, and Self After Scientology’s Coercive Control Escape to Joy is Anne Gollert Hill’s memoir of surviving Scientology’s coercive control and rebuilding a life of her own. From its international management ranks to her escape in 2007, Anne recounts her personal experiences inside the organization and the hard-won work of reclaiming her identity, strength, and self. At its heart is a story not only of leaving, but of learning to live again—and discovering that joy is not something you have to earn. For release announcements, visit Anne’s book-news page. Publication timing is not confirmed in this media kit.
