Hello, my name is Jennifer Nuñez. I am a mother, a wife, a writer, and a dreamer. I write about pain and love, longing and grief, identity and motherhood.

​

I immigrated to New York from the Dominican Republic at a young age and have spent my life moving between these two places. This movement between these two places has shaped both who I am and how I write.

​

I have written two novels. My first, In Case She Forgets Again, is loosely based on my life. It explores the pain I’ve carried, my doubts about identity, and the quiet, daily struggle to survive and make sense of my wounds. My second novel, Love, Feral, was born after I poured that pain onto the page and left it there. It is a story about grief, connection, and the bonds that hold all living things together.  This story is about a woman and a feral cat finding one another in the midst of deep loss.

​

I live in New York with my husband and two children. I am currently writing my third and most ambitious novel, The Last Plane to Land in America. The story follows the lives of six people when the last plane lands and no one is able to return home. At its center is the life of a Dominican woman, as the novel explores displacement, belonging, and what it means being stranded in one home while haunted by another
