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

Blessed to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set feet in a class. Her family members was therefore isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to guarantee the children received an education, and no someone to intervene when one of Tara’s old brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a brand-new kind of existence. Her search for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge School. Only after that would she question if she’d traveled too much, if there was still a means home.

“Gorgeous and propulsive . Regardless of the singularity of [Tara Westover’s] child years, the questions her book poses are general: Just how much of ourselves should we give to those we like? And just how much must we betray these to develop up?”-Vogue

“Westover has somehow managed not only to fully capture her unsurpassably exceptional upbringing, but to create her current situation seem not so exceptional in any way, and resonant for most others.”-The NY Times Book Review
