I Can’t Make This Up

Born by accident and unwanted by his parents, Kevin Hart grew up in North Philadelphia with a father who was a drug addict in and out of jail, a brother who dealt crack and stole, and a mother so strict that she hit him with frying pans, belts and even his own toys. His memoir follows how he overcame each of these obstacles to become a comedian whose tours sell out football stadiums and whose films have grossed more than $3.5 billion. His rise came from his way of seeing the world: life as a series of chapters, where how a person reads each one shapes the next. It reached the New York Times best seller list.

Cardiologist Dr. Monali Y. Desai, founder of If We Were Family, said she was listening to it because she finds Kevin Hart a really funny comedian.
