________________________
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.

作者简介
· · · · · ·
Tara Westover was born in rural Idaho. She studied history at Brigham Young University and upon graduation was awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She received an MPhil in intellectual history from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and a PhD in the same subject in 2014.
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.

天呐，2021年11月标记的在读，竟然现在才好不容易读完，可见我是多不想读。作者经历写得确实挺传奇的，特别是她的奇葩家庭。不过有些地方很夸张，夸张到我怀疑是不是真的。PS：受教育变得更“睿智”真的好吗？我现在觉得懂的越多好像烦恼越多，难道是有个临界值，其实我懂的还不够多，等超过了那个阈值，我就顿悟成仙彻底无烦恼了？

知识能改变命运吗？tara真的用教育彻底逃离了落后畸形的原生家庭。在德国飞英国的飞机上读完了，读到有的章节真的感觉喘不过来气，但是她真的，好勇敢。为一切勇敢的女孩子喝彩！！
