________________________
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.

##近年读过的最好看的英文书！
##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。

##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。
##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
##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。。。
##“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……
