Aprašymas

Tara Westover, the internationally bestselling author of Educated, returns with a deeply moving and beautifully-told memoir of what came after.

There are many of us out there, the liars.

Tara Westover grew up at the base of a mountain in Idaho, then she left the mountain and wrote the story. She wrote about her father's junkyard and being kept out of school, the family's preparations for the End of Days and the confusion she felt when an older brother became violent. Then she published the story.

The world believed her, but her parents hired a lawyer. What followed was a battle over the past. Who gets to say what happened? Who gets to be believed? And how can you believe yourself when your own parents say you're lying?

Westover was able to believe herself because two of her brothers believed her. "There is a gift siblings can give to one another," Westover writes. "It is the gift of a witness."

But the gift didn't last. The book became a phenomenon, and soon after, her brothers denied events they had once confirmed.

Brothers and Sisters is the story of what comes after, and of what it means to step into the world knowing that you will outlive the story that made you.
