An Evening with Lara Love Hardin
Author of the New York Times Bestseller The Many Lives of Mama Love
Friday, November 7th Bedford, New York
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.
““Lara Love Hardin writes with the same humor and bravery that helped her navigate incarceration, sobriety and a daunting return to the community to regain her place in her children’s lives. This beautifully told story flies in the face of assumptions about substance use disorder and incarcerated women and shows how community and connection help people rebuild themselves for the better.” ”
Connection to Endeavor
Much like Lara Love Hardin’s own story of enduring trauma and moving toward healing and purpose, Endeavor’s Equine Prison Program offers incarcerated women a path forward—a place to rebuild confidence, gain vocational skills, and plant the seeds of a new life. Her words and their work converge in a shared belief: that healing is possible, that hope can shine through, and that when we invest in second chances—through pen and page, or through horse and heart—the ripple effects can transform lives.
