Educated: A Memoir

Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover    334 pages  

The author grew up in a survivalist family and developed many mental issues of her own that she continues to come to liveable terms with.   So continues over the years to keep returning home and keeps going around her brother who has often tried to kill her stopping just short yet, she forgives him and continues to doubt her own recollections in the face of denial of other family members.   Tara managed to escape though she continues to return every chance she gets,

She talks about how bad things were, how evil the mindsets are of her parents but what lies underneath all that?   How did she manage to keep her status at Cambridge when nights she was running down the streets screaming and raving like a lunatic?    I do not recommend this book  I found it hard to reconcile her words and lack of action with her honors and accolades something just doesn't mesh here.
