具体描述
Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.
Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

##Westover家族应该都是天资优秀的，从Tara的父母亲白手起家的生意可见一斑，而且读了书的三兄妹都有很强的主动性和能力，前后纷纷获得PhD （果然学习是阶层流动的上上之选）。更吸引我的是Tara通过学习的过程不断的发现自己：第一部受到家庭暴力，虽然有气愤不甘，却也说不上想要什么。到第二部，当Tara有了历史、心理学的知识，她不仅听从脑子里的想法，还可以理性分析，与自己和解。当无法改变原生家庭，就与他”带病生存”。 对于原生家庭，可能永远逃不开眼界的局限，纵然我们尽可能提供给孩子环境，但是也有一天，他会看到我们的局限性，不过恰恰这是进步的根基。
