Review of Tara Westover's Educated: A Memoir at Commonweal


My review of Tara Westover's Educated is online and in the February 6, 2019 edition of Commonweal magazine. Please do read the review, but my short take is that most reviewers miss her goals in this book and assume that it is a rags-to-riches story of the intellectual life. It is that, but it is also the story of her soul, and on her journey, she stumbles upon some ancient, and Catholic, truths about the relationship between the individual and the community. Thanks to Commonweal for publishing it!
