This captivating memoir by Tara Westover offers a powerful account of her journey from a survivalist childhood in rural Idaho to the hallowed halls of academia. Raised by Mormon fundamentalist parents who distrusted the government and modern medicine, Westover’s early years were shaped by isolation, grueling labor, and a lack of formal education. Despite these formidable obstacles, her insatiable thirst for knowledge ultimately propelled her to study at Brigham Young University and, later, Cambridge and Harvard. Westover’s story is a testament to the transformative power of education and the resilience of the human spirit. This copy, though showing signs of its well-traveled life, invites readers to embark on an extraordinary odyssey of self-discovery and intellectual awakening. Collectors will appreciate the enduring significance of this modern classic, which has resonated with millions of readers worldwide.
