Gaby Rodriguez made national headlines in 2011 when, as a seventeen-year-old high school senior from Toppenish, Washington, she revealed she had faked a pregnancy for a class project. Her experience inspired a Lifetime movie, also titled The Pregnancy Project. Her grades were in the top 5% of her graduating class, and she was a commencement speaker. She was also in the ASB Leadership group and president of the school's chapter of MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil de Chicanos de Aztlan: Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan). She was raised by her single mom and has seven brothers and sisters. Jenna Glatzer is the author or ghostwriter of more than thirty books. She has worked with Celine Dion on the authorized biography Celine Dion: For Keeps, and with Marilyn Monroe's estate for The Marilyn Monroe Treasures. She also writes for publications such asThe Washington Post, Healthline, and USA TODAY. She lives in New York, where she allows drag queens to poison her daughter's mind at brunches and Tupperware parties. Find out more at JennaGlatzer.com.
