Publisher's Synopsis
In this unflinching memoir, Michel Laflèche Francoeur takes readers on a harrowing journey from the depths of childhood trauma through the false promises of spiritual movements to a hard-won authenticity.
After his chaotic exit from a Bible-based cult, he went on a quest for meaning that led him through Scientology and other controversial groups, such as the Brahma Kumaris, each offering an escape from reality. But as he confronts the ghosts of his past, he realizes that true healing lies not in altered states of consciousness but in facing his demons head-on."FALLING FROM A PINK CLOUD: WHEN SPIRITUALITY LEADS TO A DEAD END" is a testament to the power of confronting one's truth, no matter how painful. It's a story of reclaiming a life buried under layers of spiritual bypassing and self-deception.Through the author's journey, readers will witness the courage and resilience it takes to climb out of trauma's "nauseating well" and find genuine peace. This memoir offers hope to anyone grappling with their past, faith, or place in the world.
