This was on my TBR since early 2019. The wait has been worth it folks!
Writing a review for this book, when it has been reviewed by Bill Gates just feels odd.
But we're going to attempt it anyway.
Tara Westover tells her story in this brave recounting of her childhood, her upbringing and the effect it had on her behavior and understanding of the world as she grew up.
She takes us through her days living on buck's peak and working in her dad's workshop.
Her experiences as a child and teen years are unimaginable, but you do sympathize with her because of the things she was lead to believe were true.
Had Tara been just a graduate, I would have been beyond amazed at what she had achieved, without a High School Degree (she was homeschooled).
But a Graduate and a Ph.D. is unimaginable and I'll be forever grateful for Tara for penning down this disturbing, but mostly inspiring memoir of her life till now.
A must read.
