________________________
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.

用戶評價
##（原版看完打卡，這種青春成長小說可能已經不適閤我這種大齡人士瞭，中途無數次想棄。）反邪教反原生傢庭檄文，美國助學金計劃宣傳小說。講瞭一個原生傢庭極度惡劣的小孩，如何麵對神棍偏執狂爸爸，傢暴哥哥，被洗腦的媽媽，懦弱的妯娌，不斷覺醒，不斷懷疑自己，不斷被拖迴去，不斷掙紮抗爭的故事。而這一切的改變都源於美國輕鬆就能申請的助學金計劃。然後女主就一路開掛：中學都沒讀過但短暫努力一下就考上瞭大學，劍橋隻有一個推薦名額教授就給瞭她，論文隨便一寫就是幾十年來最佳，蓋茨奬學金哈佛博士都輕而易舉，唱歌從小就擅長，性格孤僻但男友和朋友都愛她。我看完沒有獲得什麼力量，也很難共情，隻覺得能那麼事無巨細的記錄父母兄弟和自己的黑曆史，是個狼人。整本寫作風格都非常電影化，翻拍指日可待，不過我肯定不會去看。
