Educated: A Memoir (Random House Large Print) by Tara Westover
In a gripping memoir, Tara Westover recounts her upbringing in a fundamentalist Mormon family in the mountains of Idaho, where she and her six siblings were raised by their survivalist father, who forbade them from going to school or seeing doctors.
Tara's father was a deeply religious man who believed that the end of the world was imminent, and he prepared his family for the worst by stockpiling food and teaching them how to survive in the wilderness. Tara's mother was a devout follower of her husband, and she homeschooled the children, using a curriculum that was heavily focused on religion and conspiracy theories.
As Tara grew older, she began to question her father's teachings, and she longed for a different life. She eventually left home and enrolled in college, where she had to learn to navigate the outside world for the first time. Educated is a powerful and inspiring story about one woman's journey to overcome adversity and find her own path in life.
