I loved this memoir. It reminded me of A Little Life, but the story was from a real person. It made me sad but also greatly aware of how religious trauma can affect a person or brainwash the masses. Education is not only a right but it is essential to those who only have access to information that is censored and warped. I would highly recommend to everyone!!!

challenging hopeful medium-paced

3.25

This book is not about education at all! It is about an abusive family, a complicated life of someone who learned how to become part of the society. For a book which claims to be about education and the importance of knowledge - it disscuses to little about the learning process and the author tells us how hard it is in general to study and does not explain or truly show how education has changed her life.
