Description
By Tara Westover
Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. She grew up in the Idaho mountains with survivalist parents who did not believe in schools, doctors or birth certificates, stewing herbs into medicine and working in her father’s scrapyard.
She taught herself enough mathematics and grammar to get into university, and went from there to Cambridge and a doctorate. A memoir about education as a form of escape, and about what it costs in a family that experiences it as betrayal.
