Piper Kerman was born in Boston on September 28, 1969 and graduated from Smith College in 1992.

The book was adapted by Jenji Kohan into an Emmy and Peabody award-winning series on Netflix. She currently serves on the board of the Women's Prison Association and is a vocal advocate for Justice Reform.
