Lauren Kessler in an award-winning author of 16 books, including her 2026 debut memoir, Everything Changes Everything, which has received critical acclaim and 5-star review readers.

Everything Changes Everything is Lauren’s most personal work to date. After facing unimaginable loss, she embarks on a five-hundred-mile pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, carrying a pack that was too heavy and emotional baggage that was heavier still.

Lauren’s memoir takes readers down a path of grief and hardship to a place of hope and optimism with the skill of an immersion reporter and an open heart.
