The Many Lives of Mama Love (Oprah's Book Club): A Memoir of Lying, Stealing, Writing, and Healing (Oprahs Book Club 2.0)

Loved this! It kept me interested and I did not want to put it down. I’m getting back into reading and this was the first book I decided on. I feel like a lot of ppl can relate to life struggles while trying to hold it all together while trying to do better once you know better.

This book explores how a person may have it together outwardly, but the inner workings of addiction can overtake anyone. The question is, how do you fight to regain your life from addiction, disdain, felony conviction, and judgment. Is redemption possible?

This read felt emotional and I felt frustrated for her and so many other things. Bravery is what it takes to tell her story.

First half of the book reads like a documentary not a novel. Very depressing. Felt like even on the last page of the book Lara would dash out the door for a fix with any challenge to her self confidence
