________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

用戶評價
【藏書閣打卡】2019已讀022 這是一本憤怒的書，在房思琪的初戀樂園後，我還沒讀到過這麼讓人怒火中燒的書。書名讓人以為在講學校教育給人帶來的改變，但其實講的是女主如何艱難地與她那個荒唐而又瘋狂的原生傢庭（暴虐癲狂的摩門原教旨主義父親，無所作為甚至助紂為虐的母親，還有心理變態的哥哥）剝離，逐漸看清世界，找到真正的自我。這是一種更深層次、更廣意義上的教育。閱讀的過程讓我很痛苦，麵對來自傢人的精神洗腦、語言暴力和肉體摺磨，以及偶爾閃現的麻醉劑一般的溫情，作者顯得過於軟弱，一次次地示弱、讓步、道歉，不斷反思是否錯在自己，唯一的反抗不過是悄悄地逃離。但也許不這樣做，她根本無法成功活下來吧，而這本書本身，其實就是作者一場巨大的、不動聲色的報復。
評分##每一章都讓人憤怒，也很驚奇。我已經死瞭一韆次，她不僅活下來還嚮前走瞭，而且也沒有解釋。。。
評分##這是一個自詡愛看書的人從去年九月底碩士開學到現在看完的唯一一本課外書????/我不得不承認看到劍橋的教授說你想上哪讀研我都能保你錄取的時候我居然有那麼一絲不道德的嫉妒????可能有的人就是天賦異稟吧，我認認真真讀瞭十幾年的書，還不是被劍橋脆拒瞭嗎????/最後一部分看作者反反復復與過去鬥爭，一次次迴到那個傢，看得我好纍????
評分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
評分##花瞭近一個月、終於讀完瞭，真好看啊！！ 作者的語言太美瞭，故事更是驚人。雖然時常聽到對真實性的懷疑，但我個人對其沒有異見。在我看來，她的敘述太有力量瞭，這種力量，隻能來自於親身經曆後的痛徹心扉。
評分##最震撼的還是剛到大學那一段，從一個世界完全到瞭另一個世界，那種衝擊與震撼。
評分##Power of education
評分##每一章都讓人憤怒，也很驚奇。我已經死瞭一韆次，她不僅活下來還嚮前走瞭，而且也沒有解釋。。。
評分##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
