Born to survivors in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she stepped foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children were educated, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent. When another brother entered college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her to oceans and across continents, to Harvard and the University of Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she had traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
“Beautiful and propulsive. . . Despite the uniqueness of [Westover's] childhood, the questions his book asks are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much do we have to betray them in order to grow? "- Vogue
