Elyssa is joined by Elizabeth Moffett, a Jobs for America’s Graduates teacher at Whiteland Community High School. Elizabeth provides context on “Educated” by Tara Westover. A memoir of what happens when a girl grows up in a survivalist community in Idaho and doesn’t start formal education until college.
Up next, Elyssa continues the memoir theme of the show by looking at “Heartland: a Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth” by Sarah Smarsh who asks us to look at modern-day America differently.
Plus, Elyssa and Elizabeth find a way to include Dolly Parton in the conversation.
