________________________
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
##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。
##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。。。
##“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.“ 一口氣看完覺得Tara這種纔是PhD的料… 我大概就是那種failing my PhD的人……
##我以為看開頭以為會是風雨哈佛路這種成功勵誌書，後麵發現是作者摸爬滾打勉強實現精神獨立的過程。no offense but摩門教確實挺神奇的…
##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.

##一個人能夠改變自己，除瞭教育，還有運氣以及能夠堅持下去的毅力。作者能夠走齣來，除瞭自己意識到瞭，還是受到瞭身邊一些人的正嚮影響的。
##近年讀過的最好看的英文書！
