Tara Westover's "Educated" 👩🏻‍🎓🌏 I have to love you from a distance

from Da Bruhs BookShelf · host Da Bruhs

An American memoir of a young  Mormon girl growing up in a survivalist family on a salvage yard isolated from mainstream society that did not believe in the medical establishment, they never saw a doctor or a nurse.  All accidents, injuries, and sickness were treated at home through herbalism. Her father was a zealot Mormon and struggled with mental illness. Constantly being placed in harm's way and experiencing abused at the hand of her older brother, Tara sought to escape the family by attempting to enter college. Being ostensibly homeschool, Tara struggled with the basics. She was able to teach herself enough Algebra and Trigonometry to score a 28 on the ACT which earner her entry into Bringham Young University. From there, her world expanded far beyond the family's junkyard to a vast world of opportunity, growth, and understanding.
