Description
A Slice of Orange: Loving and Leaving the Osho/Rajneesh Cult is a tale of spiritual discovery that goes horribly wrong. In search of bliss and belonging, Nicola Ranson travels from her Canadian convent school to India, and then to the cult headquarters in Oregon where she was on security duty when the FBI uncovered the source of the largest domestic bioterrorism attack in modern U.S. history. Forty years later, she shares her deeply personal experiences of the free-love utopia that devolved into conspiracy, poisonings, and attempted murder.

"A Slice of Orange is one of the most evocative, clear-eyed, and empathetic memoirs I've read from Rajneesh's disciples.”
—Russell King, author of Rajneeshpuram: Inside the Cult of Bhagwan and Its Failed American Utopia
"Nicola Ranson's memoir, A Slice of Orange, is wonderful, absorbing, mesmerizing—a gift."
