a memoir that takes beautiful advantage of the form to explore the nature of memory, abuse and family within Mormon fundamentalism. It hit the humanities educator in me with the consistency of how often arts and knowledge by way of a good teacher can shape the life of students in myriad ways while also reminding the current PhD student in me that this is possible and why I pursue knowledge within the academy. truly a staple on the genre for many years to come.

I was a bit hesitant to read this as I feel memoirs in this genre (person denied education receives education) can be a little one note. This is the book of the genre. Westover is an amazing writer both in her storytelling as well as her reflection. Must read.
