A Slice of Orange: loving and leaving the Osho/Rajneesh cult (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963115635)

When Nicola Ranson learns that the "peaceful" spiritual community she once called home is responsible for more than 750 poisonings, her world shatters. The revelation forces her to retrace her path from an austere Canadian convent school to India, and finally to the Rajneesh movement's secluded Oregon commune-where idealism curdled into coercion, conspiracy, and FBI surveillance.Now a psychotherapist, Ranson exposes the psychological mechanics of indoctrination and the human cost of misplaced devotion. In this gripping memoir, she reveals how a utopian dream of love and liberation spiraled into attempted murder and the largest domestic bioterrorism attack in U.S. history-and how one woman reclaimed her voice on the other side.
