Spark a Change with Bestselling Author Lara Love Hardin By the Southwest Oklahoma City Public Library

Pioneer Library System is proud to welcome bestselling author Lara Love Hardin, author of Oprah's 2024 Book Club selection and New York Times bestseller The Many Lives of Mama Love, for an evening of honest conversation about addiction, incarceration, redemption, and the power of rewriting your story. Described by Oprah as a story of "redemption, joy, hope, reclaiming yourself, and what you rightly deserve in life," Hardin's memoir chronicles her remarkable journey from addiction and incarceration to becoming a bestselling author and literary agent. Her story is a powerful reminder that our past does not define our future—and that every life deserves the chance for a new chapter.

PLS's Spark a Change encourages participants to move beyond awareness toward understanding, connection, and community support. Community members are encouraged to read The Many Lives of Mama Love before attending one of our upcoming events. We invite you to visit your local Pioneer Library System branch to receive a free copy of the book or access the eBook and eAudiobook through PLS Connect. Reading the memoir in advance will enrich the discussion and provide deeper insight into Hardin's extraordinary journey. Following the November 6 and 7 presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to meet Lara Love Hardin during a book signing.
