Angeles Times Book Prize Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho  Tara Westover was
seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from
mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education  and no
one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got
himself into college  Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge
transformed her  taking her over oceans and across continents  to Harvard and to Cambridge
University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far  if there was still a way
home. Beautiful and propulsive . . . Despite the singularity of [Westover’s] childhood  the
questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love?
And how much must we betray them to grow up?”—Vogue ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The
