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 learns 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 finds the rules and brings love and healing to her fellow inmates as she climbs the social ladder to become the "shot caller," 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, prove to herself that she is more good than bad, and much more. 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hardin, Lara Love. 650 0 $a Women prisoners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Heroin abuse $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women ghostwriters $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Literary agents $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240423011202.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240402011030.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0819076AAD011EE853AF3262BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
