对于生活在爱达荷州山区、过着与世隔绝生活的生存主义者来说，塔拉·韦斯特弗十七岁才开始踏入教室。她的家庭与主流社会完全隔绝，没有人确保孩子们接受教育，也没有人会在塔拉的哥哥出现暴力行为时进行干预。当另一个哥哥考上大学后，塔拉决定尝试一种全新的生活。她对知识的渴求改变了她的人生，带领她跨越重洋，横跨大陆，进入哈佛大学和剑桥大学深造。只有到了那时，她才会怀疑自己是否走得太远，是否还有回家的路。“优美而引人入胜……尽管韦斯特弗的童年经历独特，但她书中提出的问题却具有普世意义：我们应该为所爱之人付出多少？为了成长，我们又必须背叛他们多少？

Her 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. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.“Beautiful and propulsive … Despite the singularity of [Westover’s] childhood, the questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love?
