Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for the next decade. She received a BA from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014. ...more

Please vote for July BOTM. Nothing like July 1st already to decide. I’ll close polls and finalize on the 4th.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

This would be different. A fiction. It is allegedly about the authors PTSD from war. CPTSD more likely. He was a POW in WW II.

Educated by Tara Westover (2018)

This won Goodreads Best Memoir in 2018, and related her life growing up with anti-government, overly religious parents in relative isolation. It is #21 on my personal best books of all time.
