Educated: A Memoir
A #1 New York Times Bestseller, Educated is an unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University. Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one's closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

A must read memoir. Beautifully written story of the binds of family and of perseverance and determination.
The book club found it was well written memoir. All were glad she survived a destructive family situation. The presenter pulled up a couple interviews with Tara. They reflected more on her philosophy of education and life. All added to a great discussion.
