She has also authored several collections of autobiographical essays on faith, including Grace (Eventually).

Her most recent book, Thin Skin, was a Time, Publishers Weekly, and New York Public Library best book of 2023. Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel, calls it “a wrenching, loving and trenchant examination of feminism, nuclear power, healthcare, queerness and American life unlike any I can think of, in essays that give lessons in pushing this form to the limit. The resulting collection is iconoclastic, electric, illuminating … A book to keep for a long time.” Jenn lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
