What a memoir! You run across people in your life who don't know “things”... standard things that you learn in the normal course of growing up, without actually being taught. You wonder how that happned. Now I know!
Tara knew a lot of things with regard to living and surviving on her mountain, but after leaving the mountain, her lack of education regarding anything outside of that mountain, or anything outside of what her father would allow was mind-blowing.
A gripping tale of love and scorn, violence and control, and eventual freedom. The story I was expecting (I'm not sure what I expected, to be honest), but it was an amazing story none-the-less.
