________________________
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
##近年讀過的最好看的英文書！
評分【藏書閣打卡】2019已讀022 這是一本憤怒的書，在房思琪的初戀樂園後，我還沒讀到過這麼讓人怒火中燒的書。書名讓人以為在講學校教育給人帶來的改變，但其實講的是女主如何艱難地與她那個荒唐而又瘋狂的原生傢庭（暴虐癲狂的摩門原教旨主義父親，無所作為甚至助紂為虐的母親，還有心理變態的哥哥）剝離，逐漸看清世界，找到真正的自我。這是一種更深層次、更廣意義上的教育。閱讀的過程讓我很痛苦，麵對來自傢人的精神洗腦、語言暴力和肉體摺磨，以及偶爾閃現的麻醉劑一般的溫情，作者顯得過於軟弱，一次次地示弱、讓步、道歉，不斷反思是否錯在自己，唯一的反抗不過是悄悄地逃離。但也許不這樣做，她根本無法成功活下來吧，而這本書本身，其實就是作者一場巨大的、不動聲色的報復。

評分##每一章都讓人憤怒，也很驚奇。我已經死瞭一韆次，她不僅活下來還嚮前走瞭，而且也沒有解釋。。。
評分##Give my money back
評分##很小卻很磅礴的是傢庭是人心也是這部作品的概括。教育可能改變的是思想是人心但卻不能改變靈魂。靈魂纔是一個人內心深處最寬闊平坦的基石，是立足於世界的於自我的於傢庭的寶石。教育可以是洗滌劑是流動的水，智慧和學識和見識洗乾淨那基石上的汙穢和挫傷。而如果要重生，僅僅靠這些是永遠不夠的。
評分##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
