The Many Lives of Mama Love: A Memoir of Lying, Stealing, Writing and Healing by Lara Love Hardin
No one expects the police to knock on the door of the home of the perfect housewife. But soccer mom Lara Love Hardin has been hiding a secret: She is funding her heroin addiction by stealing her neighbors’ credit cards.
She is convicted of 32 felonies and becomes inmate S32179. But Lara brings love and healing to her fellow inmates, showing that jailhouse politics aren’t that different from the PTA meetings she used to attend.
The Many Lives of Mama Love is a 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.
