Westover grew up in a survivalist family in Idaho without school, doctors, or official records. This is the memoir of what she had to become to get out — and what she lost by leaving.
Allo's take
What makes it more than a survival story is Westover's refusal to resolve her grief about her family. She got out. She's not sure she got away. That ambivalence is the book's moral weight.As an Amazon Associate, byallo earns from qualifying purchases.
