Lara Love Hardin's Memoir: A New York Times Bestseller
Once you start reading, be prepared, because you won't want to stop. -Oprah Winfrey
New York Times bestselling author Lara Love Hardin recounts her remarkable journey from a soccer mom to an opioid addict to a jailhouse shot caller and her incredible comeback as a highly successful ghostwriter in this heart-wrenching, hilarious, and unflinching memoir.
No one expects the police to knock on the door of the million-dollar, two-story home of the perfect cul-de-sac housewife. But soccer mom Lara Love Hardin has been hiding a shady secret: she is funding her heroin addiction by stealing her neighbors' credit cards.
Lara is convicted of thirty-two felonies and becomes inmate S32179. She finds that jail is a complex social system, somewhere between an adolescent sleepover party and Lord of the Flies. Furniture is made from tampon boxes, and Snickers bars are the currency. However, Lara quickly adapts to the rules and uses her love and healing abilities to uplift her fellow inmates, earning her the nickname "Mama Love." She realizes that jailhouse politics are not so different from the PTA meetings she used to attend.
When Lara is released, she reinvents herself as a ghostwriter. Now, she legally co-opts other people's identities and gets to meet Oprah, meditate with the Dalai Lama, and have dinner with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. But the shadow of her past follows her. Shame is a poison worse than heroin; there is no way to detox. Lara must learn to forgive herself and others, navigate life as a felon on probation, and prove to herself that she is more good than bad, among other essential lessons.
The Many Lives of Mama Love is a heartbreaking and tender journey from shame to redemption, despite the system that seems to be working against her. Lara's story is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of redemption. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced adversity and found the strength to overcome it.
