I’m just now getting into audiobooks, but this made a great first listen. Even going into it knowing some of what it was about, at times I was completely shocked at the things Tara experienced particularly when it came to her family’s distrust of modern medicine. My heart broke for Tara as she grappled with the life she was raised in and her life outside of her family. Portions were hard to stomach, but all of it felt like an important conversation on education and the long-lasting effects of a childhood like this.
