Wow, I’m floored. I didn’t want to stop reading. This was a harrowing and inspiring tale of a young woman who had every possible obstacle thrown her way and still was able to overcome them, all while navigating the feelings and thoughts that come with puberty and growing up. 
It was honest in a way that made you love and at the same time hate each person she wrote about. Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read, highly recommend.

An extremely moving book that I will be reflecting on for a long time. Tara's voice is strong throughout the memoir and tells a clear story about the trade-offs between family and education. As a student of history, I found her approach to intellectual history and historical narratives fascinating, as she knows firsthand how difficult and world-shattering it can be to "relearn" the past.

This was an incredible story, unbelievable, at times. I am in awe that Dr. Westover was able to survive and tell the tale.
