Eventually, she was admitted to college\u2013where, for the first time, she learned about important world events like the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movement. She began exploring a world that she had never imagined\u2026and then came to wonder if she would ever find her way home again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\">As coming-of-age stories go, hers is a great one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\">Read it and come talk about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Book Discussion \u2013 Educated: A Memoir by Tara WestoverDate: 08\/25\/2025Time: 06:30 pm-07:30 pmLocation: Public Library of Mount Vernon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[45288,223,88,2249,45289],"class_list":["post-60606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-book-discussion-educated-a-memoir-by-tara-westover","tag-books","tag-entertainment","tag-local-events","tag-public-library-of-mount-vernon-and-knox-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
