Educated by Tara Westover is the next selection in the Argonauta Book Club. It's an easy hard read. I mean the narrative is understandable and coherent, but the subject is difficult. This is Tara Westover's memoir.
Her childhood makes mine seem perfect. Her father was a tyrant. An older brother was physically abusing his siblings but their parents defend him. This is not ancient history; everyone is still living. Tara is still estranged from her parents.
Remember Ruby Ridge in 1992. Tara's family is similar. They're so anti-government they're paranoid. And I don't think being Mormon has anything to do with it. It just happens that the predominant religion in their area is Mormon and that's where they go to church. When Tara went to college at Brigham Young University, all the Mormons there thought she was crazy.
It's her parents that are crazy.
