Mary answers “This book is disgusting to me. I do not...”

Patricia Barry asked this question about Educated:

This book is disgusting to me. I do not understand why an educated and worldly individual would have difficulty understanding the horrible and violent upbringing that she experienced. It is unbelievable to me that she could not understand the violent situation, yet uneducated upbringing she endured. I have completely misunderstood her manner of education in a life in our country, in this country, how is this possible?

Mary I found this a great book that tells a difficult but true story. It is one of many stories of suffering in the world. The author did an exquisite job …moreI found this a great book that tells a difficult but true story. It is one of many stories of suffering in the world. The author did an exquisite job of telling her own life story. I learned a lot about the world she lived in, and likely she is not the only one. The writing is beautiful, and as sad as her life was she overcomes the obstacles and makes a successful life for herself although the trauma did continue to affect her. I found Tara a great writer and a great person, for what she survived and what she accomplished .(less)
