After moving to Simsbury, Connecticut, with her family at the age of two, Weiner proceeded through her schooling wearing what she jokingly refers to as "many unfortunate hair and fashion choices." She graduated from Simsbury High School and was the graduation speaker. Jennifer Agnes Weiner was born on an army base on March 28, 1970, in De Ridder, Louisiana. Women everywhere find solace in her blunt honesty and sarcastic humor, perhaps seeing a reflection of themselves in her noble heroines. Weiner's characters are constantly battling issues such as self-esteem, weight, in-laws, philandering spouses, and of course, the struggle of finding love in a crisis-ridden world. Weiner is a best-selling author, current columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and was involved in the making of the film In Her Shoes, a movie adapted from her second novel. "Remember, they don't put your body weight on your tombstone." These simple words are the building blocks of Weiner's overarching credo, which radiates from each of her four semi-autobiographical books. "How you live your life and what you think of yourself is more important than your body size," affirms author Jennifer Weiner.
