I recently read the book Educated by Tara Westover. Wow, I haven't read such a page-turner in a long time. Here's my review on Goodreads:

"An emotionally gripping, raw story about a woman who grew up in an isolated Mormon family and never attended school until starting college at BYU. Tara Westover turned her unique and often harrowing childhood into an asset, using it to catapult herself into higher education, eventually earning a PhD. During her journey, she had to face some ugly truths about her family of origin and ultimately choose between their twisted reality or set out on a path of enlightenment on her own."

Anyway, if you're looking for a memoir along the lines of The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls, (who didn't grow up in Mormon family but had a difficult childhood, nonetheless) or The Sound of Gravel, by Ruth Wariner, (who was raised in a polygamous Mormon family, unlike Westover), then this is definitely a book you'll want to read.
