In 'Educated,' Tara Westover tells her extraordinary story of self-improvement. Born into a fundamentalist Mormon family in the mountains of Idaho, Tara grew up isolated from society, without access to education or medical care. Despite these adversities, her thirst for knowledge drove her to challenge her father's precepts and seek a formal education. At the age of seventeen, Tara set foot in a classroom for the first time, which led her on a transformative journey that would take her to Cambridge and Harvard. This inspiring memoir recounts her struggle to reconcile her roots with her ambition to build a new identity through learning.
