Poverty and superstition go hand in hand, When you have nothing,
you cling to whatever gives you hope. Tracy King was raised in a
house of contradictions. Her home was happy and creative but it was
marked by debt, by her father's alcoholism and her mother's
agoraphobia. When her father died at the hands of a local teenage
gang on the streets of their Midlands council estate, superstition
gave way to a deeper and more dysfunctional reliance on the
born-again Christian church to which Tracy and her family belonged.
In the chaos of loss, the paranormal became paranoia. In a bid to
find definitive answers, Tracy followed one belief system after
another until, accidentally, she stumbled across a book by
scientist Carl Sagan. It opened the door to scientific thinking.
Ultimately, it taught her to think for herself. And it was only
when she applied the tools of critical thinking to this exploration
of her past that she uncovered a very different kind of story.
Learning to Think is a memoir about belief. It's about poverty,
religion and superstition, grief and healing. But most of all, it's
about the liberating power of a scientific view of the world.
