‘Educated' Author Tara Westover Shares How She Overcame A Sheltered Upbringing 

Couldn’t put the book down. Unbelievable story.

I just finished the book today... I couldn't put it down. What Tara Westover went through growing up in a "tough" family life is hard for some people to understand, but she fought through those barriers to become who she is, and that is what the definition of "tough" is.

Leave it to a morning show to sugarcoat how harsh but incredible that book is.

EXTRAORDINARY book! it speaks to those who leave the security and comfort of family and friends (and the devil/dogma you know!) to explore the world without blinders.

I'm on the last 5 or 6 pages of this book and it is... I'm not sure I can find the word. It is almost otherworldly and powerful. This woman is more than tough as nails. She's as tough as a braided steel cable which is the only analogy I can think of. She has a drive in her to learn AND NOT deny her drive to learn but also to not be frightened by the truth. I think this woman is magnificent.

I thank you for sharing your experience. Mss Tara I wish you write about estrangement as so many of us goes trough it painfully in silence.

So moving

Remarkable!

nice

How do you get into those universities without an education

Don't the Mormons have their universities in Idaho? 🖐

Very sad. You have to write this book, instead of have peace and forgiveness towards your parents, and vice versa.
