Absolutely harrowing. I'm floored. The terrifying lows this woman has experienced and the peaks which she has climbed in spite of it. Stunning.

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

I was blown away by this memoir and Tara’s incredible journey. At the beginning, I thought that this book would mostly be about her issues with her family, and while that is a major part of this book, it was also interesting that she spends so much of it talking about how deeply she loved her family. Families are challenging, no matter the circumstances.

Brutality in the name of a righteous god who only commands through men.

An interesting memoir! I feel compassion for Tara Westover and I'm also incredibly happy for her. I hope she's living a fun relaxing life now. I definitely don't know because I haven't looked it up and I don't know if I ever will. This glimpse into her life and where she was at by the end feels like enough.
