Book Review - “Educated” by Tara Westover

Ok. So I admit to being a sucker for all things academic, including of course books with school settings. But please drop everything and read the memoir “Educated” by Tara Westover.   Her parents keep her uneducated and frightened of the modern world. She didn’t see a doctor or even an Advil or hear about the Holocaust until attending a college she lied her way into to escape a brutal sibling in a household that was in constant revolt against the government and deep prep for the end of days. 10 years later she graduated from Cambridge with a Ph.D. and managed to keep her faith. Her life is a testament to listening to yourself and shows how education helps you unfold yourself and the world.
