________________________
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.

用戶評價
##16/02/2020-28/02/2020 幸運的人，一生都被童年治愈；不幸的人，一生都在治愈童年。作者顯然是後者。讀第一部分的時候因為書評的“劇透"我還是抱著獵奇摩門教奇怪教義的心態來看的，待讀到第三部分時，獵奇的心理已經被為作者感到痛苦，憤怒，委屈等一係列情感所替代瞭。近些年談得很多的原生傢庭問題，在這本書中又因為宗教的原因使得作者的傢庭情況更為復雜，而作者把在對抗過程中所經曆的苦痛化為力量，以宗教背後的曆史與文化為課題，在學術方麵取得瞭成就，真的是一位堅強又齣色的女性。
評分##最震撼的還是剛到大學那一段，從一個世界完全到瞭另一個世界，那種衝擊與震撼。
評分##近年讀過的最好看的英文書！
評分##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。

評分##文筆算不上多好 但是故事很生動 我們沒辦法選擇自己的齣身 自己的傢庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是給自己拼一個未來 想起之前讀過的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
評分##花瞭近一個月、終於讀完瞭，真好看啊！！ 作者的語言太美瞭，故事更是驚人。雖然時常聽到對真實性的懷疑，但我個人對其沒有異見。在我看來，她的敘述太有力量瞭，這種力量，隻能來自於親身經曆後的痛徹心扉。
評分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
評分##Power of education
