Hi there, I’m Laurel Marlantes, author & speaker
We all have those moments that break us open. For me, it was the stillbirth of my son after undergoing a late-term abortion due to medical complications. Something I kept hidden for years, fearing judgment and misunderstanding. I had once judged the act myself.
Now I know the love behind such a choice and the struggle it takes to come home afterward - not just to who you were before, but who you are now. And it's a story I believe no longer needs to stay silenced.
Sharing stories has the power to create bridges and heal - not just an individual but a cultural divide.
Upcoming Memoir
Memoir writing is like going on a hunt for the deepest truth to one’s life experience and then finding the words to communicate that. It’s taken three years to find mine. Words authentic to my heart that speak in nuance and complexities, humanizing a charged political topic.
