Publisher Description

For readers of The Glass Castle and Wild, a stunning new memoir about family, loss and the struggle for a better future

#1 International Bestseller

Tara Westover was seventeen when she first set foot in a classroom. Instead of traditional lessons, she grew up learning how to stew herbs into medicine, scavenging in the family scrap yard and helping her family prepare for the apocalypse. She had no birth certificate and no medical records and had never been enrolled in school.

Westover’s mother proved a marvel at concocting folk remedies for many ailments. As Tara developed her own coping mechanisms, little by little, she started to realize that what her family was offering didn’t have to be her only education. Her first day of university was her first day in school—ever—and she would eventually win an esteemed fellowship from Cambridge and graduate with a PhD in intellectual history and political thought.

Should have read it sooner.

Most autobiographical books aren’t something I enjoy. They are something I study or slug through with the knowledge that the added perspective will likely be worthwhile.

However this captivated me as if it were a good fiction with the added intensity of appreciating that not only did this happen to someone, but that they were willing to share it with the world.

Amazing!

So eloquently written, captivating, and somehow relatable. Thank you for writing this book!

Amazing book

This book was amazing to read. Read it in just a few days as I couldn’t put it down. Good job on the writing part.
