Title: Educated
Author: Tara Westover
Genre: Memoir
When a person learns of Tara Westover's educational accomplishments, they wouldn't suspect that she never attended school like most children. A hard knock life is probably a fair description of her life. Living as off the grid as possible and prepping for doomsday was her normal. There are lots of stories of her midwife mom, her junkyard dad, and her brothers and sister as they grow up with a strict religious background.
It also follows her gradual introduction to the world of academia and its influence on her life. Her many stories about her family, her experiences, and her path to higher education make you wonder how one person could go through so much.
