________________________
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.

##很小却很磅礴的是家庭是人心也是这部作品的概括。教育可能改变的是思想是人心但却不能改变灵魂。灵魂才是一个人内心深处最宽阔平坦的基石，是立足于世界的于自我的于家庭的宝石。教育可以是洗涤剂是流动的水，智慧和学识和见识洗干净那基石上的污秽和挫伤。而如果要重生，仅仅靠这些是永远不够的。
##每一章都让人愤怒，也很惊奇。我已经死了一千次，她不仅活下来还向前走了，而且也没有解释。。。
##花了近一个月、终于读完了，真好看啊！！ 作者的语言太美了，故事更是惊人。虽然时常听到对真实性的怀疑，但我个人对其没有异见。在我看来，她的叙述太有力量了，这种力量，只能来自于亲身经历后的痛彻心扉。

##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.

##16/02/2020-28/02/2020 幸运的人，一生都被童年治愈；不幸的人，一生都在治愈童年。作者显然是后者。读第一部分的时候因为书评的“剧透"我还是抱着猎奇摩门教奇怪教义的心态来看的，待读到第三部分时，猎奇的心理已经被为作者感到痛苦，愤怒，委屈等一系列情感所替代了。近些年谈得很多的原生家庭问题，在这本书中又因为宗教的原因使得作者的家庭情况更为复杂，而作者把在对抗过程中所经历的苦痛化为力量，以宗教背后的历史与文化为课题，在学术方面取得了成就，真的是一位坚强又出色的女性。
##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
