Such a good memoir. Westover relates the most harrowing and heartbreaking events of her life with the detached perspective of a reporter. Letting these events stands on their own just makes them hit you in the gut even harder. Her skill as a writer is all the more incredible considering her upbringing.
To everyone who understands too well why the author kept going back to her family, again and again: I hope we all find our peace someday.
