Lauren Sandler is a veteran journalist, bestselling author, and learning facilitator.

Her most recent book is THIS IS ALL I GOT: A NEW MOTHER’S SEARCH FOR HOME. Lauren’s current project, AMERICAN PROPHECY: ONE FAMILY, TWO NATIONS, AND A WORLD ON FIRE is forthcoming from Random House.

She’s also at work co-writing a musical called SHELTER IN THE PROMISED LAND, based on her reporting. This fall, she’ll be at SUNY New Paltz for the James H. Ottaway Sr. Visiting Professorship.

“THIS IS ALL I GOT is a testament to the bigness of the small story, to the power of intimate narratives to speak to something much larger… I relished my time alongside Camila… Sandler’s such a keen observer, her writing so cleareyed.”

Alex Kotlowitz, The New York Times Book Review
