Hannah Hart

(audiobook) nonfiction. Well-written, diverse memoir with humor by youtuber (My Drunk Kitchen) and content creator. LGBTQAI interest, mental health awareness--traumatic youth (includes mother with schizophrenia, father is a Jehovah's Witness, violent stepbrother abandonment by loving stepfather).
