Timeline
Lauren Frances Book (born October 12, 1984) is an American politician and former educator who has served in the Florida Senate since 2016, representing parts of Broward County.
A member of the Democratic Party, she has been the Senate's minority leader since April 28, 2021.
Book was born in Hollywood, Florida, in 1984 to Patricia "Pat" Book, a former chocolate retailer, and Ron Book, a lawyer and lobbyist.
She is the oldest of three siblings.
Book was sexually abused as a child over the course of six years by her nanny.
She developed anorexia as a result of the abuse.
In 2002, the nanny pleaded guilty to five felony charges and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, later extended to 25 years.
In 2007, Book created a charity, Lauren's Kids, to fight for stronger penalties for sex offenders.
Book graduated from the University of Miami in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education.
Following graduation, she taught for one year in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Book married Kris Lim, a professional golfer, in 2008; their wedding was featured on We TV's Platinum Weddings.
Since 2010, Book has annually led "Walk in My Shoes", a 1500 mi walk from Key West, to Tallahassee, Florida.
She has written two books: Lauren's Kingdom and It's OK to Tell: A Story of Hope and Recovery.
She designed an abuse prevention curriculum for implementation in Florida kindergartens.
In 2012, Book was awarded her master's degree in community psychology from the University of Miami.
In 2015, she married Blair Byrnes.
Book ran unopposed for the 32nd district seat in the Florida Senate in 2016.
In the 2017 session, Book filed a bill that would remove Confederate Memorial Day, celebrated on April 26, 2017, from Florida's list of 21 legal holidays.
Her bill would also remove the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis as official state holidays.
Book told CBS4, "during a time when the country is completely divided, I think we look at celebrating our unique coming together instead of some of the things that kind of create hate and divisive environments."
They are the parents of twins, born on February 16, 2017.
In 2021, a 19-year-old Floridian was charged with cyberstalking and attempting to extort Book, threatening to release nude images of her.
On July 22, 2019, Book wrote Florida governor Ron DeSantis a letter requesting a probe into how the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office handled a work release program for Jeffrey Epstein.
Following her request, Book reported that she began receiving calls from political supporters of Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, asking her to drop the request for an inquiry.
The Miami Herald reported that Book also received multiple anonymous calls and texts with more ominous demands to halt her request for a probe.
Book voted against the controversial Florida Senate Bill 86, which would have changed implementation and administration of the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
After the Democrats' incoming Senate leader for 2022–24, Bobby Powell, decided to run for Congress, the Democratic caucus unanimously chose Book to be its leader for the 2022–24 legislature.
A week later, on April 28, 2021, the Democratic caucus chose Book to serve immediately as minority leader, following a no-confidence vote in then-leader Gary Farmer.
On April 3, 2023, Book was arrested alongside Nikki Fried, the Chair of the Florida Democratic Party, following a protest of an anti-abortion bill being considered by state lawmakers.
The bill would ban abortions after six weeks.
Book and ten others were arrested for trespassing after the Tallahassee Police Department instructed them to disperse by sunset, which they did not do.
Book later learned that the images have been bought and sold since 2020.
