Tara Westover grew up preparing for the end of the world. She was never put in school, never taken to the doctor. She did not even have a birth certificate until she was nine years old.?
At sixteen, to escape her father's radicalism and a violent older brother, Tara left home. What followed was a struggle for self-invention, a journey that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers- the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it.
'It will make your heart soar' Guardian

'Absolutely superb . . . so gripping I could hardly breathe' Sophie Hannah
