Utterly amazing! This memoir will even appeal to those who don’t typically enjoy nonfiction. Westover’s unflinching examination of her bleak childhood is heartbreaking, however her journey in deciding to educate herself was astounding. Having not even been properly homeschooled she taught and prepared herself to take the ACT test. Having been completely sheltered/isolated, and only being exposed to her fathers extremist world view, Westover candidly opens up about her confusion and frustration in college at basic things — from hygiene to never having heard of the Holocaust. This was so unbelievably fascinating!!!
