I don't typically gravitate towards memoirs or non-fiction books, but I kept hearing people rave about this book so naturally I had to read it; and I am SO glad I did.
Tara Westover's story is fascinating because it is so different than the norm. The book reads like a fiction, and I had to remind myself throughout the book that this was Tara's reality growing up and not just a story.
It takes immense courage to tell your story, especially when your story is as difficult as Westover's. If you like stories where the main character finds themselves and pushes through adversity, this story is for you!
