This week Cheryl is joined by Tara Westover to discuss her memoir, Educated – a powerful retelling of a woman’s discovery of education, its transformative power, and the price she had to pay for it. Together they discuss what Tara’s life was like growing up in a survivalist family, and her remarkable journey of self-transformation.

Hi Tara,
I’m not even finished with your book, but had to google for more information about your story.
Somehow I know your story is important to me. Although very different, there are some parallels in our stories.
I just want to say thank you. I don’t know what will happen with me, but I know the story you bravely told has changed me. I am 53, but I am still able to change because my heart is open.
