Darkness to Light: A Memoir Review: This Book is so Raw and Honest. I loved it. - I am not a fan of sports, at all. But I was interested in this humble man's story ever since I visited a Beverly Hills doctor who said Lamar was the most humble and kind famous person he had ever met. This book kept me wanting to read more and more. It is written very well and is an easy read. By the end of the book it had me in tears. I only read biographies and memoirs and this is one of the best ones I have read. It's simple, yet capturing, which I loved. I have read books by many famous people also with interesting lives, however, they weren't able to bring that across in their book. Not the case with this one, Lamar did a great job. Thank you for the beautiful read and for letting us in your head and heart, even if only for a moment. Review: Not done yet but Great so far! - Love it! Not done with it just yet but I can already tell it's a true gem. Heartfelt and sincere! Not his biggest fan (cause I'm not super into sports) but I love true story's and the story behind the person. He had an addiction I want to understand and he completely explains it in this book and it takes a strong person to admit his wrongs and why. I respect this book and glad I bought it! So far amazing!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #832,511 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #229 in Basketball Biographies (Books) #665 in Rich & Famous Biographies #5,553 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,502) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 0.97 x 9.31 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1948836084 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1948836081 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 264 pages | | Publication date | May 28, 2019 | | Publisher | BenBella Books | ## Images ![Darkness to Light: A Memoir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nBin9yQVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Book is so Raw and Honest.

So far amazing!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gripping Memoir *by P***R on December 28, 2019* I didn't know what I would get when I started reading this book. Surprisingly, it grabbed my attention from the first page until the last. Lamar delves into the trauma and pain he experienced at a young age. Some of those experiences included his father being a drug addict and having post-traumatic stress disorder from being a Vietman vet; his father physically abusing his mother; his mother being diagnosed with cancer and dying when he was only twelve; being treated as a commodity by many of the adults in his life, etc.. Unfortunately, Lamar never learned how to express or process his emotions in a productive way, so he tried to numb the pain with drugs and sex. As a result of his past experiences and the way he was treated by the people around him, Lamar was rarely held accountable for his actions. This led to a life where he mostly blamed other people for his downfall and hardships when the person he needed to blame was the one staring at him in the mirror. Lamar didn't live a life of integrity when it came to his personal relationships or his career. Eventually, he had to deal with the consequences of his behavior as his life eventually began to fall apart. There were times when it seemed like Lamar tried to present himself in a favorable light but that isn't necessarily how those around him perceived him. As someone who has dealt with addicts before, I've noticed that they often lack self-awareness and their memory or depiction of certain events may not be completely accurate. I kept that in mind as I read the book. For anyone who has had a relationship with an addict - whether it be a relative, friend, or partner - they will definitely recognize some of the behavior demonstrated by Lamar throughout his life, such as making nonsensical decisions, the paranoia, the lies, the lack of dependability, the narcissism, the self-destruction, the delusions, the ridiculous expectations put on other people, etc... Chris Palmer did a great job co-authoring this book. It was easy to read and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. As a basketball fan, I heard about Lamar from the time he attended the University of Rhode Island with Cuttino Mobley. I followed his career and his meteoric rise in fame once he married into the Kardashian family. I enjoyed reading this book because it gave me more insight into his life and why he made certain decisions. Lamar still has a tough road ahead of him but I'm wishing him the best. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/126622127-darkness-to-light-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.is/products/126622127-darkness-to-light-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
