Book Review
Educated
Courtesy of Bro. Marvin Jones
Educated is Tara Westover’s memoir. Before the pandemic began, I stumbled upon this book on display at Barnes and Noble as I was searching for one of John Grisham’s books. As an educator for the past fifty years in the Richmond Public Schools, this book caught my attention. In that the book was 30% off the selling price, I bought it. It was definitely a good buy. The book stayed on the shelf in my office until I read in the local newspaper that it was included on the best seller list. This book includes 332 pages and it describes the lifestyle of Tara Westover who was born in the mountains of Idaho. She did not receive any formal education until she was seventeen years old; members of her family were Mormons. Read More
