________________________
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.

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##文筆算不上多好 但是故事很生動 我們沒辦法選擇自己的齣身 自己的傢庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是給自己拼一個未來 想起之前讀過的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
