Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Ida ho\, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling food and sleepin g with her "head-for-the-hills bag." The family was so isolated from mains tream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an edu cation\, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent. As a way out\, Tara began to educate herself\, learning enough ma thematics and grammar to be admitted to a university. Her quest for knowle dge would transform her\, taking her over oceans and across continents\, t o Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled t oo far\, if there was still a way home. \;
