An insightful look at a girl who was raised by her survivalist evangelical father in a remote part of the woods of Idaho. Tara Westover has the wonderful ability to look back and tell the reader - this part is made up but I remember it clearly as fact and this part is what really happened. As a child she and her siblings roamed free around the mountain knowing that there were families out there who were not like her own, families that didn't stockpile ammunition and feared dairy products as the Devil's touch. Her mother became the midwife in the area against her own will and better judgement. Her self education saved her. It was only later that Tara realized how twisted her father's beliefs and fear of government were. The author's writing style is clear and flowing, pulling you willingly along down the twisted well of hate and dysfunction and then back out again to the glorious sunshine of her adulthood.
