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 600 14 Westover, Tara|xFamily 600 14 Westover, Tara,|d1986-|4aut 650 0 Survivalism|zIdaho|vBiography 650 0 Preparedness|vBiography 650 0 Mormons|zIdaho|vBiography 650 0 Women college students|zUnited States|vBiography 650 4 Women|zIdaho|vBiography 650 4 Women college students|zUnited States|vBiography 650 4 Survivalism|zIdaho|vBiography 650 4 Home schooling|zIdaho|vAnecdotes 650 4 Christian biography 650 4 Subculture|zIdaho 650 4 Victims of family violence|zIdaho|vBiography 650 4 Adult children of dysfunctional families|zIdaho|vBiography 650 7 Survivalism|2sao 650 7 Mormoner|2sao 650 7 Dysfunktionella familjer|2sao 650 7 Barn som far illa|2sao 650 7 Våld i familjen|2sao 650 7 Undervisning i hemmet|2sao 650 7 Självstudier|2sao 650 7 Autodidakter|2sao 651 4 Idaho|xRural conditions|vAnecdotes 651 4 Idaho|vBiography 651 7 Förenta staterna|zIdaho|2sao 653 USA 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Anecdotes.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiography.|2fast 655 7 Självbiografier|2saogf 655 7 Biografi|2saogf 907 00 180419
