Thanks to Kathy for
hosting the June Meeting. The Inn was a
great place to have it. In addition to
the usual epicurean delights brought by our members, Kathy shared Tasty leftovers
from her weekend group and we even had leftovers for home.
Through the rain Judy
arrived with her copy of Educated marked with more than the usual colorful tabs. She
started out by reading us a short description of Tara Westover’s book. While it cannot be said that it was “enjoyable”
due to the subject matter, it was extremely readable and was one of those books
where all members read on to the end. As
always strong opinions were expressed.
Why did she try for so many years to be a part of a family where abuse
was ignored and women treated as subordinates? Personal and moving experiences were shared which
added perspective to this question and helped our understanding. There were lengthy discussions and Judy kept
us on track.
While questions were
raised regarding some statements or situations in the book, we agreed that she is
a survivor of deprivation who became a strong brilliant woman. This is a book we won’t forget.
