Put the whole back-to-school extravaganza in perspective with Tara Westover. She spent her childhood on a junk yard in rural Idaho without setting foot in a school, at the mercy of her violent brother and a bi-polar survivalist dad. She now has a doctorate from Cambridge and the journey she documents in this extraordinary memoir will blow your mind. The power of resilience and resourcefulness shouldn’t be underestimated.
