Educated


I resisted reading this book.  First I resisted buying the audio version ...or any version for that matter.  Then I resisted starting the book.  And then I found myself unable to turn it on.  And even quit reading at all for a while as I didn't seem to want to start another book nor did I want to listen to this one.

But then all of a sudden I found myself listening for hours.  One could never make up all of the craziness in this book...I guess one could only live it.  The bipolar father who let his children take terrible risks in the scrap yard and on his construction sites....the mother who is damaged but becomes strong.....the family  that stays on Bucks Mountain as "over the top" Mormons.

I will finish the book.  I do find it to be an exceptional book.

So I finished the book today.  It is hard to imagine that Tara is only 28 years old when her memoir is finished.  WOW!  I say prayers for Tara and her family.
