Traces the author's experiences as a child born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, describing her participation in her family's paranoid stockpiling activities and her resolve to educate herself well enough to earn acceptance into a prestigious university and the unfamiliar world beyond.

Brutal e imprescindible

Ya sabíamos del papel de la religión católica en la educación, y del daño que produce especialmente en las mujeres. Aquí, Tara Westover nos pone negro sobre blanco la situación de las mujeres mormonas y su educación en un mundo gobernado por una iglesia que las considera un simple bulto. Debería ser lectura obligatoria en el instituto.
