520 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." In the summer she stewed herbs
for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter
she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father
distrusted the medical establishment, so Tara never saw a
doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from
explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The
family was so isolated from mainstream society that there
was no one to ensure the children received an education,
and no one to intervene when an older brother became
violent. When another brother got himself into college and
came back with news of the world beyond the mountain, Tara
decided to try a new kind of life. She taught herself
enough mathematics, grammar, and science to take the ACT
and was admitted to Brigham Young University. There, she
studied psychology, politics, philosophy, and history,
learning for the first time about pivotal world events
like the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement. Her
quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over
oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge
University. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled
too far, if there was still a way home
