Despite her unorthodox introduction to higher learning, Westover went on to write the bestselling memoir “Educated,” sharing her experiences of shedding what she had been taught growing up. She sits down with TODAY's Jenna Bush Hager to talk about how her life has changed since releasing the memoir.

Leave it to a morning show to sugarcoat how harsh but incredible that book is.

I just finished the book today... I couldn't put it down. What Tara Westover went through growing up in a "tough" family life is hard for some people to understand, but she fought through those barriers to become who she is, and that is what the definition of "tough" is.

EXTRAORDINARY book! it speaks to those who leave the security and comfort of family and friends (and the devil/dogma you know!) to explore the world without blinders.

I'm on the last 5 or 6 pages of this book and it is... I'm not sure I can find the word. It is almost otherworldly and powerful. This woman is more than tough as nails. She's as tough as a braided steel cable which is the only analogy I can think of. She has a drive in her to learn AND NOT deny her drive to learn but also to not be frightened by the truth. I think this woman is magnificent.

In her book she explains the process. But it was a mixture on small steps and then big ones…

Don't the Mormons have their universities in Idaho? 🖐

There is BYU-Idaho but she wasn’t raised Mormon. She was raised in a breakoff sect

Very sad. You have to write this book, instead of have peace and forgiveness towards your parents, and vice versa.
