#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unforgettable memoir
about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her
survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge
University. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara
Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a
classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society
that there was no one to ensure the children received an
education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older
brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into
college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for
knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across
continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then
would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a
way home. Amazon pick for best book of
2018.
Characters: 73. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre:
Non-Fiction/Memoir.
