Child X A Memoir of Slavery, Poverty, Celebrity, and Scientology

A prosperous Black family that rose from the ashes of American slavery. A notorious movement cloaked in secrecy. A forgotten boy. And a daring escape.
Jamie Mustard was born into one of the most influential fringe movements in the 1970s: Scientology. Raised on a mythos 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 unsurvivable neglect but also the impossible physical and psychological gauntlet of extreme poverty and illiteracy. Child X is a dark existential journey into a deepest hole of human existence and the road back.
The unbelievable story of a lost generation of children, Child X takes readers through Jamie's childhood and adolescence in "the movement," his daring escape, and his rise into self-possession. With wit and vulnerability, Jamie sheds light on one of the untold, but not uncommon, accounts of a powerful Black family that rose from the ashes of slavery 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. Despite his family's success, Jamie would be born a slave and then reborn an artist. Through extraordinary encounters with celebrity, icons and historical figures, it also powerfully places Black American history in the larger context of world events.
A universal story of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, Child X celebrates yet transcends race-and is ultimately an uplifting impossible to believe story of rising out of adversity and building a life full of meaning and connection. With this book, Jamie continues working to restore his family's legacy and provides a salient saga of the road to humanity and self-possession.
