There is so much love for it from all the indie shops across the country, I just cannot wait for my customers to meet her at the event. Review of the book: Tara’s book EDUCATED is described as a Memoir. It is about Tara’s life as a Mormon, living off the grid in Idaho. The scenery where she lived is painted in a beautiful manner, harsh winters and baking summers. But that is not all. Her family are ruled by a stern, fanatical man, who is always ready for the end of the world, he ensures his family are also ready in ways which will make you gasp out loud. Her large family all have their own idiosyncrasies, their own story to tell. Tara was seventeen before she stepped foot through a classroom and got her birth certificate. Prior to that she was “home schooled” by her Mother. The book is narrated by Tara, it will grip you, it will squeeze your soul and will fill your heart with sadness, love and incredulity that Tara survives her life in Idaho and becomes the author of this beautifully written book and who she is today. I describe Tara as a Phoenix rising from the Ashes. It is a must read and one which will make you think about your own life and how lucky most of us are. Tara will be at Lingham’s on 5th March talking about this amazing book! • • • • • • • • BBC News Online Books to Look Ahead in 2018 Mail on Sunday's Best of 2018 Cultural Highlights New York Times's Must-Know Literary Events in 2018 Stylist's One to Watch in 2018 Daily Express's Must-Have New Reads The Pool's Books We're Looking Forward to in 2018 S Magazine's Best Upcoming Books of 2018 Vogue's What to Read This Fall BOOK YOUR TICKETS AT WWW.LINGHAMS.CO.UK OR CALL 0151 342 7290 Linghams Booksellers, 248 Telegraph Road, Heswall, Wirral, CH60 7SG
