Educated By Tara Westover
by Tara Westover

I’ve heard Educated described as a “female version of HillBilly Elegy”— which doesn’t feel far off. Westover’x memoir is about growing up in rural Idaho, one of 7 children in a Fundamentalist Mormon household. What’s surprising to me is the title— while the memoir does cover Westover’s unusual homeschooling and path to a PhD. the story is more about family and the bonds that tie us together.

We Ride Upon Sticks
by Quan Barry

The sticks in the title refer to both witches’ brooms as well as field hockey, as a 1989 MA high school team attempts to turn their losing record around by invoking the dark arts. There’s no real element of fantasy here tho— just a fun story about the power of coming of age and female empowerment before such a concept even existed. For fans of movies like Now and Then or books like Summer Sisters.
