What does it mean to be educated when your family denies the world outside?
Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she was kept out of school and isolated from mainstream society. Through sheer determination, she taught herself enough to gain admission to Brigham Young University — and later earned a PhD from Cambridge. Educated is the unforgettable memoir of a woman who transformed her life through learning, one hard-won page at a time.
Viral for its themes of resilience, family conflict, and self-discovery — perfect for fans of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance, or Maid by Stephanie Land. One of the most celebrated memoirs of the decade.
Rated 4.47/5 on Goodreads — "A breathtaking memoir of resilience and the power of education."
