In Oprah’s 104th Book Club pick, The Many Lives of Mama Love, Lara Love Hardin writes boldly about her opiate addiction, her time in jail, her separation from her children, and her long road to recovery. But, as the memoir’s title would suggest, this author has lived many lives; she worked on a book with the Dalai Lama, befriended Desmond Tutu, and met Oprah long before Mama Love became a Book Club selection. If you want to know how she went from a jail inmate facing 32 felonies and up to 27 years in prison to a free woman and bestselling author, you’re going to have to read the book. But in this slideshow, you can take a sneak peek into Hardin’s world, getting to know the people, places, and moments she writes about. In these photos, you’ll meet Hardin’s son Kaden, who was just 3 years old (and adorable) when she was arrested, along with her three older boys: Dylan, Cody, and Ty. You will meet her partner and codefendant, D.J., and her “third-time’s-a-charm husband ” Sam (although that romance is another story altogether). Scroll through for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most memorable moments in The Many Lives of Mama Love—thank goodness the cameras were ready when His Holiness the Dalai Lama styled Hardin’s hair!
