About the book:
Educated is Tara Westover’s memoir of growing up in an isolated, survivalist family in Idaho with no formal schooling or medical care. Teaching herself enough to enter college at seventeen, she discovered a world far beyond her upbringing. Her pursuit of education took her to Harvard and Cambridge but forced her to grapple with the painful distance it created from her family.

Critics Say:
Westover’s extraordinary memoir is an act of courage and self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty and the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties.
(Dani Shapiro, NYT)

Trigger Warnings:
