I’m 1/3 of the way through Tara Westover’s book “Educated: A Memoir” and it’s a Wow.

“For eighteen years I never thought of that day, not in any probing way. The few times my reminiscing carried me back to that torrid afternoon, what I remembered first…Now, at age twenty-nine, I sit down to write, to reconstruct the incident from the echoes and shouts of a tired memory. I scratch it out. When I get to the end, I pause. There’s an inconsistency, a ghost in this story. I read it. I read it again. And there it is. Who put out the fire?”
~ Tara Westover, “Educated: A Memoir”
Highly recommended.
