Her father had a mental disorder, and didn't trust the government. Hillbilly Eulogy, didn't have that problem. They were angry with how life treated them in the rust belt. Where Educated was a mistrust, and thinking the end of the world is coming. Think of Ruby Ridge.Her family especially her father limited her learning until she was able to think for herself. I'll tell you what a family. So, sad how her family treated her. Her brother, Shawn, and her father, and her brothers, and sisters that weren't educated. It is a wild ride. <br /><br />I would love our book club would read this, and discuss. There is so much to talk about. If you believe in Education, and books, you would be inspired how she was able to get beyond her limited education, and go to all places Cambridge. <br /><br />I have not written my review yet. Thanks for your thoughts. <br /><br />There are all different ways to educate yourself. Institutional education is not always the only way. That is what I got out of the book. There is so much to talk about. I am afraid to tell more. Because I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
