Katie Simpson

Lower Your Expectations (and Other Life Skills) is a hilariously honest look at modern adulthood, written for anyone who’s tired of pretending life is supposed to be neat, balanced, or filtered.

In Ken & Chaos: A Love Story, Katie Simpson invites readers into her world: a life built not on fairy tales, but on tractors, chickens, turkeys, Dairy Queen dates, menopause mood swings, and the occasional grease fire.

In Love Letters to My Children: A Mother’s Journey of Forgiveness and Generational Healing, author Katie Simpson shares a raw and redemptive memoir told through heartfelt letters to her children.

After years of following every rule, pleasing every person, and trying to stay in God’s “good graces,” Katie Simpson watched her carefully constructed life crumble — religion, marriage, and identity all at once. What followed wasn’t destruction; it was transformation.

In her bold and bitingly funny follow-up to My Own Damn Table, Katie Simpson returns with an unfiltered guide to surviving the circus of life without losing your mind—or your sense of humor.

What happens when the world takes everything from you — your children, your family, your faith, even your name — and dares you to keep standing? Katie Simpson’s My Own Damn Table is a raw, unflinching memoir of survival, betrayal, and the relentless fight to reclaim a life on her own terms.
