Histoire
Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches. In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge.

Histoire
In this memoir, Jessica tells the story of leaving her family to move away from a closed religious society that refers to itself as “The Truth.” The church gave her a rulebook for life that separated members of the Truth from the rest of society. Remaining inside the community was Good. Being outside the community—in Satan’s World—was Bad. The Truth keeps close records of all its members who are in Good standing.

For a first time author, Jessica does an incredible job. Truly. Her use of words throughout the story are perfectly curated. I blasted through the book and had to regulate myself because I wanted to read all in one go. It kept me interested the whole time. Seamless progressions and really inspirational. Thankyou for sharing your life!

The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them. Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll, as the whale became known, was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited.

Mark (the author and audiobook reader) is so pleasant to listen to. All of the content in this book takes you on a journey in which you can make your own opinion of the history of orcas near Vancouver BC. (My home) It is soooooo crazy to think that killer whales were so misunderstood, in such recent history !! Mark tells a true and factual story which leaves you in awe of these majestic, intelligent and wonderful oceanic mammals.
