Sinopse:
"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."

Opinião:
Um dos livros mais inquietantes de 2021. Acabei de ler o livro e sinto-me overwhelmed com a história de vida que Tara Westover escolheu partilhar. Não é uma biografia porque esta história é apenas uma parte de memórias da escritora e narradora, mas sem dúvida uma grande história.
Our lives were a cycle - the cycle of the day, the cycle of the seasons - circles of perpetual change that, when complete, meant nothing had changed at all.
Long before the warrior's leap it was decided how the women would live and how they would die.
Apache women, and of all the decisions that go into making a life - the choices people make, together and on their own, that combine to produce any single event.
For a month I lived as if holding my breath.
