Lauren Holder is a proud Mississippi mama, wife, and lifelong writer. Inspired by the slow sweetness of Southern life, her love for storytelling began with childhood journals and deepened through years of personal growth, loss, and joy. The Little Farmer on Madison Farms is her debut children’s book — a story rooted in family, farmland, and faith. The character of Colt is based on her godson, cousin, and best friend, while Madison Farms is a very real place where childhood memories and life lessons grow like wildflowers. Lauren lives in Long Beach, Mississippi, with her husband, Peyton, their daughter BriarRose, and a second baby girl on the way. She hopes her stories remind families to slow down, savor the small things, and never outgrow wonder.
