There's no business like shoe business -- and Philadelphia best-selling author Jennifer Weiner knows that for a fact. More than 320 women attended a celebration of Hadassah of Greater Philadelphia's "In Her Shoes With Jennifer Weiner" gala at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley. Jill Bernhardt Goldstone (left), president of the local Hadassah, and Weiner offer patent-leather smiles at the function.

Shoe me! No, they're not from Missouri but on the Main Line, where Wendy Stupp (left) and Sharon Taffet (right) proved sole sisters for the event, making the night's shoe centerpieces, sized up here by the author.
