Tara Westover’s Educated: A Memoir is a creative non-fiction account of the relationships with her family and her education that shaped the woman she has become. Tara’s family lived on the outskirts of society, and she did not attend school until she chose to apply to college. She experienced abuse at home, and with the development of her education and self-confidence, she created a life that she felt comfortable living. The memoir deals with themes of memory, duality, knowledge, trust, and control.
