Can you imagine what it would be like to grow up in a family that rejects modern medicine and education?
Educated by Tara Westover is the story of her upbringing in a strict and isolated household in rural Idaho. Despite never attending school and facing physical and emotional abuse from her family, Tara was determined to get an education. She taught herself enough to pass the ACT and eventually got accepted into Brigham Young University and ultimately earned a PhD from Cambridge University.
However, navigating college life was not easy for her as she faced challenges adjusting to her new environment and grappling with her family's disapproval of her pursuit of higher education. Along the way, Tara also confronts the disturbing truth about her family's beliefs and past actions.
Tara Westover's journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and a reminder that we can all overcome adversity with perseverance and determination.
