Education and career
Jennings was born in rural New Hampshire in October 1957. His parents were 17 when he was born, and neither of them attended school past the 8th grade. Jennings was the first in his family to graduate from high school (valedictorian at Sanborn Regional High, class of 1975), and later worked his way through the University of New Hampshire. Jennings graduated from UNH in 1980 and returned there for a week in April, 2010 as a Donald Murray Visiting Journalist.
Over the years Jennings has worked at the Manchester Union Leader, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Jennings has also published six books, including a children's book, and three novels that depict rural life in the United States.
Jennings's first non-fiction book is about country music and seamlessly weaves personal anecdotes together with the vice and gruffness of "classic country."
Diagnosed with advanced and aggressive prostate cancer in 2008, Jennings has been writing a weekly column for the Well blog on nytimes.com since November 2008. One of his most popular posts led to his book 'What a Difference a Dog Makes', which was published in November 2010.
Personal
Jennings currently resides in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, with his wife. They have two grown sons - Drew & Owen.
