Join us on September 17 for an engaging evening as we dive into Tara Westover’s powerful memoir, Educated.

Her story is one of resilience, discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge against all odds. Born into an isolated and survivalist family in rural Idaho, Tara was denied formal schooling and grew up in an environment marked by hardship, loss, and abuse. Through sheer determination, she found her way to higher education, eventually earning a PhD from Cambridge University.

At this month’s event, we will discuss her life, her choices, and the conflict with family that shaped her remarkable journey. We will also explore her mother’s perspective through the book Educating, which attempts to offer a different side of the story.

Expect an evening of deep discussion, honest reflections, and meaningful connections as we unpack themes of education, family loyalty, independence, and resilience.
