Educated: A Memoir

Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling food and dreaming of one day becoming a midwife. Instead, she got a PhD from Cambridge University. This is the story of a young woman who, through extraordinary determination and intellectual curiosity, transcended the constraints of the world she was born into.
