Her first novel, Good in Bed, is loosely based on her young-adult life: like the main character, Cannie Shapiro, Weiner's parents divorced when she was 16, and her mother came out as a lesbian at age 55. He died of a crack cocaine overdose in 2008.
When Weiner was 16, her father abandoned the family. The next year, her family (including a younger sister and two brothers) moved to Simsbury, Connecticut, where Weiner spent her childhood. Weiner was born to a Jewish family in DeRidder, Louisiana, where her father was stationed as an army physician. Her novel In Her Shoes (2002) was made into a movie starring Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine. Her debut novel, published in 2001, was Good in Bed. She is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jennifer Weiner (born March 28, 1970) is an American writer, television producer, and journalist.
