"Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home"
No matter what your circumstances, and whatever surrounds you, there is always still you. And Tara Westover gives us pause to reflect on that when you hear her story. Published in February of 2018 by Random House, Educated by Tara Westover is in my TBR pile and I can't wait to read it!
