Educated is a memoir of growing up in rural Idaho as the unschooled wild child of religious fundamentalists, then choosing not to live the life they carved out.
It was an excellent portrait of physical and emotional abuse, of the toll untreated mental illness can take on an entire family, and of how people confront their own beliefs systems.
