About this ebook
From Scribd: About the Book
Swing between the dizzying peaks and unfathomable valleys in the life of a figure known for his basketball career, his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, and the time he was hospitalized after being found unconscious at a brothel.
Lamar Odom lived a life of money and success as one of New York’s top basketball recruits. But in this riveting, honest memoir, he reveals all of the seedy situations he often found himself in—the fame, the sex, the pain, the drugs, death, booze, and addiction. Describing the dark underbelly of amatuer basketball, the harmful vices he used to cope from the pain of his unraveled marriage to a member of the Kardashian empire, and a childhood marked by loss, Darkness to Light is a redemptive, personal story of the good times and the bad.
Get to know the truth about this two-time NBA champion who has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in his life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing! I cried half the book. Sometimes everything you see on TV isn’t true. Good for him for growing upon all those demons. God bless him

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book highly recommen to read it. Also very sad childhood
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a remarkable read. It would be an understatement to state life failed Lamar. He was handed a raw deal. The odds were against him. Basketball was his lifeline until it wasn’t. I felt the pain. It took him hitting rock bottom and a near death experience to realize he had so much to live for.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. I have always been a fan. I loved loved it. Such a humble soul.❣️??❤️
