Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch Book Discussion via Zoom: Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing by Lauren Hough

Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing by Lauren Hough

As an adult, Lauren Hough has had many identities. As a child, she had none. Growing up as a member of a cult, Hough had her own self robbed from her. So she started over, trading one life for the next. She's taken pilgrimages to the sights of her youth, been kept in solitary confinement, dated a lot of women, dabbled in drugs, and eventually found herself as what she always wanted to be: a writer.

At once razor-sharp, profoundly brave, and often very, very funny, the essays here interrogate our notions what it means to live freely.
