Our Take

Westover grew up in a survivalist family in Idaho where education was forbidden, injuries went untreated, and her brother's violence was denied by everyone. She taught herself enough to reach Cambridge. The memoir is devastating not because of what happened but because of how long it took her to name it as wrong.
