Close, but not us. Yet.

A young Tara Westover

Dear Bookclub,

Arranged around a corner table at The Barrel Room, our discussion of Tara Westover's "Educated" was an agreeable matching of sentiment and comprehension; well-liked with a good dose of being appalled, having admiration for the successes despite the circumstances, and a dash of skepticism.

  Promising to share the links I'd found regarding the oil business 

and the family's reaction to Tara's book, please enjoy:
