Educated: A Memoir

It took me a while to get into this book. But by the end I was immersed in the author's life. Her parents never sent her to school yet she went on to Harvard. This story illustrates the strength it takes to sever yourself from a dysfunctional family, abuse, and restrictive mindset, and to walk single handedly and blindly into the world alone. And to not just survive the abuse, but to soar and succeed in a way almost impossible.
