"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"--
Reviews with the most likes.
She wrote one of the most memorable and touching memoirs of all time. I didn't realize how unjust the American criminal justice system is until I read her memoir. Kudos to Lara for getting out of jail and picking up the pieces so she can reunite with her kids and redeem herself. Thanks, NetGalley, for an honest review. I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.
I can see why this was an Oprah pick. A recovered addict and formerly incarcerated thief, we see Lara pick up her life and find herself. This will convince you about the strength of mothers and the power of the human spirit.
A friend, who I believe has pretty good taste in and similar taste to mine in books, recommended this memoir as a recent favorite. Because it's a busy time at work, I decided to check out the audiobook version from library.
After getting through about 25% of the book, I decided to return it because this really isn't the kind of story I feel like reading right now. I do appreciate the author being open about her struggles with addiction and the changes in her life that led to her going to prison. The end up just not being for me! Or maybe not me at this time.
