She spent her summers bottling peaches & her winters rotating emergency supplies, hoping that when the World of Men failed, her family would continue on, unaffected. She hadn`t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she`d never set foot in a classroom, & no medical records because her father didn`t believe in doctors or hospitals. According to the state & federal government, she didn`t exist. As she grew older, her father became more radical, & her brother, more violent. At sixteen Tara decided to educate herself. Her struggle for knowledge would take her far from her Idaho mountains, over oceans & across continents, to Harvard & to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she`d travelled too far. If there was still a way home. EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, & of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, from her singular experience Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is & what it offers: the perspective to see one`s life through new eyes, & the will to change it. ...

A few years ago, Alice Steinbach, a Pulitzer prize winning journalist decided to take a break from her life. She took a leave from her job, friends & family to go on a European journey of self-discovery, & her first book, WITHOUT RESERVATIONS, was the exquisite result of that trip. But once Steinbach had opened the door to a new way of living, she found herself unwilling to return to her old routine. She left her job & went travelling again, only this time her objective was not so much one of self-discovery as it was a reaching out. She wanted to learn, by taking lessons & courses, but also by connecting to & learning from the people she would encounter along the way. Choosing exactly where to go & what to study turned out to be harder than she'd anticipated, but Steinbach found herself repeatedly drawn to the interests & fantasies of her youth. & so her lifelong fascination with writing, animals, gardening, & food led her to study dog training in Scotl&, writing in Prague, gardening in Provence, calligraphy & flower arranging in Kyoto, music in Cuba, cooking in Paris & Jane Austen in Exeter. Her weeks & months spent with fellow students of all ages are, as she'd hoped, every bit as educational as her courses. & studying side by side with people preparing for careers in these various fields gives Steinbach a second chance at some roads not taken
- a chance to reconnect with her past, when so many options were still open to her. In pursuing interests she's never had time to fully explore, she finds that her sense of curiosity is as strong as it ever was, &, as she discovers during the course of this wonderful trip, we are never too old to learn.
