Educated is Tara Westover's bestselling memoir chronicling her extraordinary journey from a survivalist family in rural Idaho to Cambridge University. Born to Mormon fundamentalist parents who rejected public education and modern medicine, Tara never set foot in a classroom until age seventeen. Working in her father's junkyard and preparing for the End of Days, she taught herself mathematics and grammar, eventually earning admission to Brigham Young University. Through education, she discovered new worlds but also faced the painful cost of estrangement from her family. A powerful meditation on knowledge, identity, and self-invention, this memoir became an international literary phenomenon.
