Educated: A Memoir

This is about religion like Moral Orel is about religion...It's there and it's a part of it, but not about it. This book is about growing and learning, much how Orel grows through life experiences you'll take a journey of Tara's experience and find the goodness of improvement and education. Un-like Orel Puppington, Tara is a REAL person. I was on the edge of my seat, I was scared, I was angry, I was outraged, and most importantly I cared about Tara through this whole thing. I hope she is doing well, and I can't help but wonder about the state of her family.

It's bizarre to me how this is modern day. There is a ton to un-pack through this whole memoir and I can only imagine the hell it was to live through it. I could feel the real emotions of this book, through the entire thing I was wondering where it would end up. As the family disowned and spread lies and gossip about her, Tara remembered the question “Who writes history?” and her reply was “Me” I knew that was at the core of this book. She gets the last word and a work that will long live her family's side of the story of her. The power!

I highly recommend this book - audio had great narration!
