"Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. 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. 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 one of Tara's older brothers became violent. As a way out, Tara began to educate herself, learning enough mathematics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University. Her quest for knowledge would transform her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Tara Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it."--Provided by publisher. / / TABLE OF CONTENTS: / Author's Note xi Prologue xiii PART ONE 1 Choose The Good 3 (10) 2 The Midwife 13 (11) 3 Cream Shoes 24 (7) 4 Apache Women 31 (10) 5 Honest Dirt 41 (13) 6 Shield And Buckler 54 (13) 7 The Lord Will Provide 67 (9) 8 Tiny Harlots 76 (8) 9 Perfect In His Generations 84 (8) 10 Shield Of Feathers 92 (6) 11 Instinct 98 (6) 12 Fish Eyes 104 (8) 13 Silence In The Churches 112 (10) 14 My Feet No Longer Touch Earth 122 (10) 15 No More A Child 132 (10) 16 Disloyal Man, Disobedient Heaven 142 (11) PART TWO 17 To Keep It Holy 153 (7) 18 Blood And Feathers 160 (7) 19 In The Beginning 167 (7) 20 Recitals Of The Fathers 174 (8) 21 Skullcap 182 (5) 22 What We Whispered And What We Screamed 187 (11) 23 I'm From Idaho 198 (9) 24 A Knight, Errant 207 (9) 25 The Work Of Sulphur 216 (7) 26 Waiting For Moving Water 223 (5) 27 If I Were A Woman 228 (7) 28 Pygmalion 235 (9) 29 Graduation 244 (11) PART THREE 30 Hand Of The Almighty 255 (10) 31 Tragedy Then Farce 265 (9) 32 A Brawling Woman In A Wide House 274 (5) 33 Sorcery Of Physics 279 (5) 34 The Substance Of Things 284 (6) 35 West Of The Sun 290 (7) 36 Four Long Arms, Whirling 297 (9) 37 Gambling For Redemption 306 (8) 38 Family 314 (6) 39 Watching The Buffalo 320 (7) 40 Educated 327 (4)Acknowledgments 331 (2)A Note on the Text 33 /
