Another of Bill Gates' 5 best books of 2018, this is a memoir by Tara Westover of a girl growing up in northern Idaho in a survivalist household -- no electricity, no plumbing, no doctors, no medicine, no schooling, no birth certificate.
When the kids are injured -- which is inevitable, working in their dad's junkyard -- everybody prays and applies homeopathic medicine which has been activated by passing it through a circle made with their thumb and forefinger.
The father tells the children never to mention being injured because the state will take them away.
Darn tootin'.
