challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Powerful and intense, this telling of Dr. Westover's growing up is a very human look into dynamics of a family, and the choices we make. Although my mother's situation was not the same as Tara's I still see parallels and insights that help me to understand her better.

accidentalspaceexplorer's review against another edition

challenging inspiring slow-paced

5.0

This is an extremely powerful book about the power of education and how it changed one woman's life. But it's also about white supremacy, mental illness, abusive families, and how all of those things impact children as they grow up. I couldn't put it down, even though it was very dark at times, and I think a lot of people would get a lot from this book.
