Resumen del Editor

“Once you start reading, be prepared, because you won’t want to stop.” —Oprah Winfrey

OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • New York Times bestselling author Lara Love Hardin recounts her slide from soccer mom to opioid addict to jailhouse shot caller and her unlikely comeback as a highly successful ghostwriter in this harrowing, hilarious, no-holds-barred 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 class system with a power structure that is somewhere between an adolescent sleepover party and Lord of the Flies. Furniture is made from tampon boxes, and Snickers bars are currency. But Lara quickly learns the rules and brings love and healing to her fellow inmates as she climbs the social ladder and acquires the nickname “Mama Love,” showing that jailhouse politics aren’t that different from the PTA meetings she used to attend.

When she’s released, she reinvents herself as a ghostwriter. Now, she’s legally co-opting other people’s identities and getting 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 how 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 a system that makes it almost impossible for us to move beyond the worst thing we have ever done.

This memoir was one of the realest most vulnerable I’ve heard in a long time!

Everyone is redeemable! We’re not defined by our worst mistakes! Forgiveness is key! I absolutely loved this book!

Loved!

I really enjoyed this book. I love true stories. And I love that it is told by her and not an actor.

I am glad I read this one!

I will admit many times I nearly stopped listening to this. I am so glad I didn’t. It was hard to listen to her many failures at getting clean in the first part of the book because I have never had an issue with drugs or alcohol, however what a warrior this young lady turned out to be. I was a single mother with one child wondering so many times when I would stump my toe and end up on the street so I understood her struggle and can’t imagine how much harder that fight would be with the law against you and having a record. Bravo to Laura. Buy this book. Support this young lady just for the cause if nothing else. This book is about fighting back against the odds.

One of the best books I’ve read

Love is a character I found great empathy for. She brings wisdom and depth to each character of devastating circumstances. Absolutely beautiful story of triumph!

Inspiring

It's been a week since I finished this audiobook, and I still can't stop thinking about it and talking about it. Lara Love Hardin's jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring story has altered the way I see the world, and my own most-painful (and shameful) experiences. Her #tragic2magic story reminds me we are all redeemable--and there must be a reason for what we go through. Our lives can change if we do our part to have the breakthrough we desire.
