________________________
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.

评分##我第一次踏上美国，是在八月份炭烤的天气中，肯尼迪机场的短暂停留之后，西南部亚利桑那州的沙漠里。 选校时，因为经济状况，很现实地去了能给最多奖学金的学校。坐落在凤凰城外贫穷的suburb， 被周围低矮房屋包围的，是一所号称排名第一的国际商学院，同学们来自50个国家。因...
