________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

用户评价
##“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.“ 一口气看完觉得Tara这种才是PhD的料… 我大概就是那种failing my PhD的人……
评分##一个读来甚至觉得难以置信的故事，Tara能够依靠自己的力量挣脱原生家庭的泥潭变成一个那么优秀的学者真的太不容易了。我觉得即便是到了现在，相信这种经历带给她的梦魇肯定还会时不时窜出来。极端的父亲可以一千次把希望扑灭，但却依旧会被Tara在chapel里的歌声打动，在Tara去英国的时候说如果去了大洋彼岸就不能开车把你接回来。Shawn会在Tara差点因为付不起学费drop out的时候给她经济支援。关于自我觉醒的力量。作者还是比较冷静地来叙述自己的经历，其实文笔谈不上有多出色。
评分##近年读过的最好看的英文书！
评分##这是一个自诩爱看书的人从去年九月底硕士开学到现在看完的唯一一本课外书????/我不得不承认看到剑桥的教授说你想上哪读研我都能保你录取的时候我居然有那么一丝不道德的嫉妒????可能有的人就是天赋异禀吧，我认认真真读了十几年的书，还不是被剑桥脆拒了吗????/最后一部分看作者反反复复与过去斗争，一次次回到那个家，看得我好累????
评分##Give my money back
评分##Power of education
评分##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
评分##文笔算不上多好 但是故事很生动 我们没办法选择自己的出身 自己的家庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是给自己拼一个未来 想起之前读过的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
评分##一个人能够改变自己，除了教育，还有运气以及能够坚持下去的毅力。作者能够走出来，除了自己意识到了，还是受到了身边一些人的正向影响的。
