"Jennifer Weiner is a bestselling author, a mom, a daughter, and a sister; a former rower and current runner; a best friend and a reality TV junkie. Here, in her first foray into nonfiction, she takes the raw stuff of her personal life and spins it into an uproariously funny and moving collection of essays on womanhood. Jennifer grew up as an outsider in her picturesque Connecticut hometown and at her Ivy League college, but finally found her people in newsrooms in central Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and her voice as a novelist, activist, and New York Times columnist. No subject is off-limits in this intimate and honest essay collection: sex, weight, envy, money, her mom's late-in-life lesbianism, and her estranged father's death. From lonely adolescence to modern childbirth to hearing her six-year-old daughter's use of the f-word--fat;--for the first time, Jennifer dives deep into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world. Hungry Heart is about yearning and longing, love and loss, and a woman who searched for her place in the world - and found it as a storyteller. Jennifer Weiner is author of fourteen books, including Good in Bed, In Her Shoes, Who Do You Love, and The Littlest Bigfoot. She lives in Philadelphia.
