Educated: A Memoir
by: Tara Westover
First Published: 2018
ISBN-13: 9780399590528
At times harrowing but always hopeful, discover how an undocumented child worked her way from an off-grid, survivalist upbringing to exceeding even her own wildest dreams.
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
