Lori Tyner is a Canadian memoirist, mother and storyteller who writes honestly about family, survival, addiction, complicated love, forgiveness, boundaries and the meaning of home.

After raising six children and carrying experiences that rarely fit into simple explanations, Lori began putting her life into words—not to create a perfect version of the past, but to tell the truth about what it took to survive it. Her writing holds both the devastation and the beauty: the moments that broke a family, the ordinary moments that kept it together and the difficult work of rebuilding after everything changed.

The Challenging Memoir — The Complete Collected Memoir brings that journey together under one roof. Lori continues to write from real life, believing that even the hardest stories can help someone else feel understood, less alone and strong enough to keep going.
