After 'Educated,' Tara Westover Revisits a Family Split in Memoir 'Brothers and Sisters'
The follow-up memoir revisits family disputes over her account of abuse and memory after the million-selling debut drew wide acclaim.
Random House announced Thursday that Tara Westover's second memoir, 'Brothers and Sisters,' will be released on April 13, nearly 10 years after her million-selling debut 'Educated.'
Her 2018 debut 'Educated' achieved widespread acclaim, becoming a million-selling hit praised by Bill Gates and President Barack Obama as a favorite book.
In 'Brothers and Sisters,' Westover writes about her parents disputing her memories and siblings denying events from 'Educated' that they had previously confirmed.
According to the publisher, the new book examines questions such as 'Who gets to say what happened?' and how someone can know the truth but still be called a liar.
Westover, who turns 40 later this month, was admitted to Brigham Young University as a scholarship student and later received a doctorate from Trinity College in Cambridge, England.
