Description
At seventeen, Tara Westover's first experience of school was a rare and significant event in her life. Born into a survivalist family in the mountains of Idaho, she had grown up without formal education or mainstream connection.
Her journey towards knowledge took her across continents, from Harvard to Cambridge University, where she earned a PhD. Along the way, Tara grappled with questions about identity, belonging and the choices we make for ourselves and those we love.
This memoir is an extraordinary account of one woman's transformation, offering insights into the universal human quest for self-discovery and growth.
