Tara Westover
Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills" bag. Her father distrusted the medical establishment, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Through self-education, she entered Brigham Young University and eventually Cambridge.
