Born in Miami and raised in Southern California to Brooklyn-born parents, Jennifer Mascia spent her childhood believing she was going to be the next Meryl Streep. At 17, she moved to New York with her father, a carpet cleaner, and her mother, a retired teacher, and majored in theater at Hunter College. Upon graduating, however, she embarked on an illustrious career as a server in several overpriced Manhattan eateries before embracing her inner news junkie and applying to Journalism school. She graduated from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in 2007 and has spent the last three and a half years as an editorial assistant on the Metropolitan News desk of the New York Times. In 2007, she confronted the family skeletons and penned a Modern Love column about her father's criminal past and her mother's lifelong attempt to keep it a secret. The column, entitled "Never Tell Our Business to Strangers," was expanded to book-length and will be published by Villard, a division of Random House, in February 2010. She lives in Manhattan.
