About this book
Tara Westover grows up in a survivalist family in rural Idaho, largely separated from schools, doctors, and the institutions her peers take for granted. As a teenager, she begins teaching herself enough to enter formal education, eventually confronting the painful distance between intellectual independence and family loyalty. Westover’s memoir is candid without being simplistic, tracing how knowledge can liberate a person while also complicating every relationship they have. It combines the emotional force of Becoming with a darker coming-of-age story about memory, control, resilience, and the price of creating a self.
