________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had 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 transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

用户评价
##文笔算不上多好 但是故事很生动 我们没办法选择自己的出身 自己的家庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是给自己拼一个未来 想起之前读过的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
评分##希望自己是她，又希望自己不是她。
评分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
评分##8分 / Tara Westover形容之前的自己怯懦崩潰自我懷疑是一個腐爛掉的人，惡臭熏天。在Educated這本書里她用了一個詞來講改變「remade」，重塑自我。先找出你的能力所在，然後再決定你是誰。她有著強大的元認知能力，不斷自我反省、調節、平衡、前進。Tara進入劍橋的項目後她的導師是Jonathan Steinberg，比喻她是蕭伯納的茶花女。她只是一個穿著漂亮衣服的倫敦人，直到她相信自己，那時她穿什麼衣服已經無關緊要了。
评分##“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.“ 一口气看完觉得Tara这种才是PhD的料… 我大概就是那种failing my PhD的人……
评分##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
评分##最震撼的还是刚到大学那一段，从一个世界完全到了另一个世界，那种冲击与震撼。
