Educated

A Memoir
Book • 2018
In 'Educated,' Tara Westover recounts her journey from a childhood in rural Idaho, where she was raised by survivalist Mormon parents who opposed public education and medical care, to becoming a scholar at Harvard and Cambridge University.

The book details her struggles with physical and verbal abuse, her self-education, and her eventual admission to Brigham Young University.

Westover's story is a powerful exploration of resilience, the importance of education, and the complexities of family relationships.

She navigates the tension between her desire for knowledge and her loyalty to her family, ultimately finding a way to reconcile her past and present selves.
