Un autobiographie à couper le souffle
« Papa était un homme qui connaissait la vérité sur tous les sujets et ne s’intéressait pas à ce que les autres disaient. Quand il ne parlait pas, il exigeait le silence »
A 16 ans, Tara fuit un père fanatique religieux et survivaliste, un frère violent et une mère effacée pour rejoindre les bancs de l’université, elle qui n’a jamais mis un seul pied à l’école.
Un parcours brutal où le conflit entre loyauté à sa famille et aspirations de développement personnel fait rage.
Fascinant de persévérance et de courage, EDUCATED est à la fois un récit d'espoir et un témoignage d'horreur. Difficile à lire. Impossible de s'arrêter.
