Educated

Educated is an inspiring memoir written by Tara Westover. Westover was born into a survivalist family in the mountains of Idaho. Her father, a devout Mormon, believed in the end of the world and kept his children away from formal education and modern medicine. Tara grew up doing dangerous work on the family junkyard, with no access to a proper school. However, a spark of curiosity within her led her to teach herself and eventually apply to Brigham Young University. In this memoir, Westover takes readers on a profound journey of self - discovery. She describes the internal struggle between loyalty to her family and the pursuit of her own truth. As she gains more knowledge and experiences, she begins to question the beliefs and values instilled in her from childhood. Her story is not only about the power of education but also about the strength of the human spirit to overcome adversity. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt trapped by their circumstances and dreams of a better life.
