Educated
by Tara Westover
Tara Westover's Educated is a memoir about clawing your way into knowledge when your family treats school as a danger. Raised by Mormon survivalists in the Idaho mountains, she doesn't enter a real classroom until her late teens and eventually earns a doctorate abroad. It's a story about what self-invention costs you, and the bill turns out to be your family.
