She is the founder of Pete's Reading Series, a reading series in Brooklyn.[2] The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing took Jacob 10 years to complete, during which time her father became sick and died. After his death, Jacob rewrote much of the book with the father character as her own father.[3] Personal lifeJacob was born and raised in New Mexico. Because there were so few East Indians in New Mexico, people often assumed she was Native American, she told Kirkus: "They all thought we were Hopi or Apache or Mexican."[2] Her parents were in an arranged marriage in 1968. When Jacob was 20, her parents fell in love, she wrote in an essay for Vogue. Jacob wrote that their renewed relationship allowed her to form her own romantic relationship with filmmaker Jed Rothstein, whom she later married.[3] She now lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their son.[4] Jacob and Rothstein have one child together.[2] Works
