When i first started writing educated, i was very separated from that. It just felt like somebody else. The facts i've got, i just he felt experience. I don't remember anything new. What i recover is the actual experience of what happened. And with some of them i do, cause i've done all this work. But i didn't feel things that were upsetting were not upsetting,. Or i am spectually, one of the first chapters that i wrote about my dad's junk yard. and i took it into this amateur writing group, and i read it aloud as a comedy.
Tara Westover is the author of Educated.
“I used to be so fearful. ... I was afraid of losing my family. Then, after I had lost them, I was afraid that I made the wrong decision. Then I wrote the book and I was afraid that was the wrong decision. Everything made me frightened back then, and I just—I don't have that feeling now.”
