Evening Book Group Discussion, Educated by Tara Westover

    "Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom.  Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills-bag."  In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a mid-wife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard.  The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent.  Her quest for knowledge would transform her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and Cambridge."
