![]() Tara Westover grew up in a paranoid, survivalist, Mormon family on a mountain in Idaho. She did not step into a classroom until she was 17 years old, yet has earned at least three degrees of increasing prestige since then. This memoir takes the reader into her, at times, outlandish and dangerous upbringing. This book is a hot read right now, so I requested it at AADL like three months ago. It is much sadder than the books I typically choose to read, but once I began, there was no stopping. The way Westover narrates the events of her life give real voice to the thoughts of a person experiencing abuse and the challenges of changing an entire worldview. While jarring, this makes the memoir powerful and gripping.
