I don't even know where to begin... how about a quote?
“You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them... You can miss a person every day, and still be glad that they are no longer in your life.”
Tara Westover grew up in Idaho with conspiracy-theory, survivalist, fundamentalist parents and no formal education. By the end of the book she has graduated from some of the most prestigious universities. She struggled with wanting to love her family but also wanting an education outside of junk yard where she grew up. Her story is filled with self-realization, determination, sadness, triumph, and growth.
Spoilers, we both loved this book and HIGHLY recommend it. We mixed it up this week with a mocktail of sparkling water, lime juice, grapefruit juice and lavendar essential oil.
