Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Bedford Playhouse celebrating New York Times bestselling author Lara Love Hardin, hosted by Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship.

We invite you to experience Lara Love Hardin’s remarkable journey— A Memoir of Lying, Stealing, Writing, and Healing. OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • 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.

Much like Lara’s story of moving through trauma toward healing and purpose, Endeavor’s Equine Prison Program provides incarcerated women with a way forward: a place to rebuild confidence, gain skills, and plant the seeds of a new life. Her words and our 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.

6:00 PM | Cocktails & Meet The Author

Guests are welcomed at the Bedford Playhouse for a cocktail and the opportunity to meet Lara. Book signing will take place during this hour, with books available for purchase through our partnership with local bookstore Bedford Books.
