Description:

Tara Westover was born to survivalist parents in rural Idaho and didn’t step into a classroom until she was 17. Growing up isolated from society, she was denied formal education, medical care, and even a birth certificate. Despite this, she taught herself enough to attend college, eventually earning a PhD from Cambridge University. Her journey is not just about education — it’s about identity, family, and the courage to change one’s life. As she distances herself from her family’s beliefs, she discovers who she truly is. Educated is a powerful memoir about resilience, self-invention, and the transformative power of knowledge. It’s raw, honest, and deeply moving.
