The Wawota Library Book Club's latest book was Educated by Tara Westover. It was a story about Westover's life as a survivalist in the Idaho mountains. She was 17 years old before she set foot into a school. Her thirst for knowledge led her to Brigham Young University, to Harvard and to Cambridge. It is a fine example of the strength of the human spirit!
