Author
As the oldest daughter of nationally known speaker and author, Florence Littauer, Lauren comes by her speaking and writing talents naturally.
Her best-selling book, The Art of Helping – What to Say and Do When Someone is Hurting, is a practical hands-on guide to use in a wide variety of daily situations. Endorsed by nationally known speakers such as Emilie Barnes, Patsy Clairmont, and Marilyn Heavilin, this book demonstrates the lost art of graciousness and compassion—a much needed essential in today’s busy world.
Lauren teamed with Florence and Marita Littauer, her mother and sister, to write another must-have book, Making The Blue Plate Special –The Joy of Family Legacies. This step-by-step resource encourages families to enjoy and preserve their family traditions as well as create new ones.
She is also a contributing author to Open to Hope.
