Book Description:

Tara Westover's childhood stories bring singularity more than anyone else.
Born to survivalists in the mountain of Idaho, Tara was seventeen the first time she sets foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from any civilization, society that there was no one to ensure their children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's brother practices domestic violence on her. When another brother of her goes to college, it opens up a hope lighten in Tara to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she'd travel so far, if there is still some way home. The moral question of the Westover's lifestory is "How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much should we betray in order to grow up?"
