Educated Tara Westover and Education of an Idealist 2 Books Collection Set:
Educated:
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn't exist. She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn't believe in hospitals.
The Education of an Idealist:
The Education of an Idealist combines powerful storytelling, vividly drawn characters and deep political insight. It traces Power's journey from childhood growing up in a pub in Ireland to war correspondent to presidential Cabinet official. In 2005, her critiques of US foreign policy caught the eye of newly elected Senator Barack Obama, who invited her to work with him on Capitol Hill and then on his presidential campaign.
Educated / Education of an Idealist Reviews
-
How very sad that people actually live in these circumstances. How wonderful that Tara achieves what she did. We never know what an individual may actually go through on a daily basis. As Ellen says, "Be kind to one another". Right now we are in the throes of the coronavirus threats around the world. An especially good time to test our people skills. If we have compassion and do our part, we can get by faster and easier.

What a captivating read . As an educator I’ve always believed in the importance of education whether is through studying or lifelong experiences that teach you valuable lessons along the way . I commend Tara on her strength and courage despite all the hardships she’s had to go through . The decisions she made must have been so hard . A very very well written memoir . One of the best I have read to date . I recommend this to everyone .
