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.

Give this a HARD PASS
- By 3dewdrops on 06-27-18
Publisher's Summary
With a kick like the best hot sauce, this is the laugh-out-loud story of a girl determined to keep up with her aging, crazy-as-a-fox mother.
Willow Havens is 10 years old and obsessed with the fear that her mother will die. Her mother, Polly, is a cantankerous, take-no-prisoners Southern woman who lives to chase varmints, drink margaritas, and antagonize the neighbors - and she sticks out like a sore thumb among the young, modern mothers of their small conventional Texas town. She was in her late 50s when Willow was born, so Willow knows she's here by accident, a late-life afterthought. Willow's father died before she was born, her much older brother and sister are long grown and gone and failing elsewhere. It's just her and bigger-than-life Polly.
Willow is desperately hungry for clues to the family life that preceded her, and especially Polly's life pre-Willow. Why did she leave her hometown of Bethel, Louisiana, 50 years ago and vow never to return? Who is Garland Jones, her long-ago suitor who possibly killed a man? And will Polly be able to outrun the Bear, the illness that finally puts her on a collision course with her past?
The Book of Polly has a great blend of humor and sadness, pathos and hilarity. This is a bittersweet novel about the grip of love in a truly quirky family, and you'll come to know one of the most unforgettable mother-daughter duos you've ever met.

The incredible Jenna Lamia!
I always choose my next audio book based on the narrators. Maybe that's not always the best thing to do, but, for me, if the narrator is bad, the book goes back! We all have our favorites, and Jenna Lamia is one of mine. She brings the story to life with the southern elegance of a summer night in Georgia.
This was my first book by Kathy Hepinstall, but will not be my last. The story kept my attention throughout, and never became boring. Each character had their distinct personality, which the reader comes to know and understand over time.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves the comfort of a southern drawl, and a warm and funny summer read.

Great writing, characters, story, & audio narrator
It took me about 2 hours to get into the story itself because until then it felt like a very well-written character study, but I kept listening because it was enough to keep me engaged. Once events started to happen, I was absorbed in it. Yes, one must suspend disbelief, but the writing is so strong—whenever I run into non-cliché, beautiful and interesting similes, metaphors, figurative language, etc., I’m happy—the characters so quirky, that it was a wonderful listen. I can always count on Lamia to deliver as the audio narrator.

Outstanding In Every Way
Hepinstall has written a coming of age story that is so much more than simply a girl's coming of age - and she has woven various themes through the novel with a light, sure touch. Clearly, Hepinstall took great care in crafting her story. Every sentence, every scene, is there for a reason.
Jenna Lamia was perfection. Her voice was spot on as the young narrator Willow. The voices and accents she lent to the other characters were authentic and believable. One of the best things, for me, was that she didn't drop her voice and growl for the men, for which I was extremely grateful. No misguided attempts at masculinity distracted from the meaning of the author's words.
Other reviewers have described the plot in depth; I simply want to add that his novel is one of the best - if not *the* best - of its genre that I've read in a very long while.

A New Favorite with a fantastic reader
I thought The Book of Polly would be a "lite read," a pleasant story of a quirky woman--I was completely unprepared for the beautifully written, funny, thoughtful meditation on family, death, life, and love that I encountered! It's an audio book I am considering buying in hard copy, just so I can reread and treasure some of Hepinstall's comments. OUTSTANDING--moving and powerful but also laugh-out-loud funny.

Perfectly perfect!
A sweet, funny, genteel story of two strong southern women. The Book of Polly got the formula just right; one part eccentric characters, one part deep-dark secret and one part family devotion added up to the kind of fiction that makes readers continue to read. I will miss the characters with all my heart.
The narrator could not have done a better job understanding the nuances of southern twangs and drawls without mocking or overdoing either. Bless her heart.

Captivating
Beautifully detailed and complex characters with an intriguing story that constantly surprises and moves with equal measure. Moments that make you laugh out loud and well up with emotion are brought to life by Lamia's brilliant reading.
