Educated: A Memoir

Summary: This autobiography tells the story of the life of Tara Westover, who was raised in near isolation with her six siblings by highly religious parents who trusted neither the medical establishment nor the government. As a child, Tara did not attend school and did not have a birth certificate until the age of nine.

Her story is at times shocking, and readers who may have experienced any kind of physical or domestic abuse should be made aware that this book may be difficult to read.
