________________________
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
##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
評分##近年讀過的最好看的英文書！
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。
評分##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。
評分##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…
評分##這是一個自詡愛看書的人從去年九月底碩士開學到現在看完的唯一一本課外書😅/我不得不承認看到劍橋的教授說你想上哪讀研我都能保你錄取的時候我居然有那麼一絲不道德的嫉妒😨可能有的人就是天賦異稟吧，我認認真真讀瞭十幾年的書，還不是被劍橋脆拒瞭嗎😂/最後一部分看作者反反復復與過去鬥爭，一次次迴到那個傢，看得我好纍😔
評分##最震撼的還是剛到大學那一段，從一個世界完全到瞭另一個世界，那種衝擊與震撼。
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。。。
