A memoir written by a woman who grew up in a family of Idaho survivalists. She was 'homeschooled' until 17 when she left home to attend college. This book focuses on her reevaluation of her family/childhood in the face of her new experiences and education.
I really enjoyed this book for her full honesty. This is a side to people with extreme religious beliefs or paranoia of the government that seems unrealistic until you experience it. A really good book for expanding your understanding of the types of people that are out there raising children.
One of the things I really liked about Educated that other memoirs of people with similar childhoods rarely include was the way she shows the aftermath of abuse. She tries to connect with some of her extended family after the fact and navigates the way her parents lied to both her and the Aunt, I think it was, about each other.
