“Educated” Author: College Is Unaffordable and Unimaginable
Many aspiring college students in the U.S. are thwarted by the astronomical cost of a degree. New York Times bestselling author Tara Westover shares her shocking childhood and early experience with poverty in her memoir "Educated.". She didn’t set foot inside a classroom until she was 17, and though she is now successful, she says she is not a poster child for the American dream.
