Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover - Book Review

While I was reading Educated, I was gripped by the conflicting emotions. Westover puts serenity and danger at odds, each one vying to be the main focus of a chapter. Her parents had a fierce love for their children, but also had fiercely unconventional and harmful beliefs. Westover's writing is so impressive, for all the bad things that were happening in this story, I couldn't help but count down the minutes until I could be back reading about Buck Peak and the people who lived there. It is a story of triumph and self sufficiency that will inspire you to learn. ~ Reviewed by Molly Halpin
