Educated
By Tara Westover

Growing up in a devout Mormon household off the grid in the mountains of Buck’s Peak, Idaho, Tara Westover’s upbringing was unusual.
She had never been issued a birth certificate and would never be enrolled in school, due to her father’s insistence that to do so would be to become a slave to the Illuminati or a blind follower of Satan.
As her father’s increasingly erratic bouts of dangerous paranoia reach a crescendo, Tara has to ask herself an incredibly difficult question: is it worse to live in fear at home or to explore the unknown elsewhere?
Inspiring, shocking, and uplifting, this memoir will open your eyes to the unyielding potential of the human spirit, and how far one can go if only they let themselves believe that they can.
