Aileen Weintraub

Aileen Weintraub is an award-winning author, journalist and editor. Her newly released book Knocked Down: A High-Risk Memoir, (University of Nebraska Press) is a laugh-out-loud story about a commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Weintraub has written for The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Times of Israel, Glamour, NBC and others. Follow her on Twitter @aileenweintraub and find out more about her at aileenweintraub.com
