Educated: The international bestselling memoir by Tara Westover

Educated: The international bestselling memoir by [Westover, Tara]
THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER
Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days. The government didn't know she existed: no birth certificate because she'd never been registered, no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the incredible power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.
