Tara grew up in a Mormon, survivalist family that didn't believe in a formal education, modern medicine, or anything mainstream. She went from living in the Utah mountains with her family to attending Brigham Young University to furthering her education and obtained her PhD. from Cambridge. 

Alivia & Leah read it and in this episode give their take on Educated by Tara Westover. Listen anywhere--this is a book club you don't have to get dressed for.

Spoilers expected ;). Skip to 9 minutes, if you want to skip the banter.
