A Book to Understand "you Should Be Like a Bird Flying to Your Mountain
About This Novel
This book takes Tara Westover's coming-of-age epic as the research object, revealing how this memoir uses the extreme survival of the Buck's Peak family as a prism to reflect the subversive power of education on individual liberation. Focusing on the core proposition of "self-reshaping", the book analyzes how the original family built a spiritual cage through doomsday survivalist beliefs, violent discipline and memory manipulation, and how Tara completed the transformation from "father's daughter" to "own authority" through the academic process of self-study for the college entrance examination, enlightenment at Brigham Young University and further study at Cambridge. Special attention is paid to the complexities of family relationships.
