520    "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
