I absolutely loved Tara Westover's memoir and I am looking for similar books.
What I loved about Educated: - The raw honesty about family dysfunction - The journey of self-discovery through education - Beautiful prose despite difficult subject matter - The complexity of family loyalty vs self-preservation
Specifically interested in memoirs about: - Overcoming adversity - Education as transformation - Complicated family dynamics - Finding identity
Any suggestions? I have already read "The Glass Castle" and "Hillbilly Elegy".
