Following her mother's passing, Anna found a box of sepia-coloured letters pertaining to her mother's youth. Upon reading them, Anna discovered that her maternal grandfather was not her biological grandparent and that her mother's childhood was very different to her own, as not all children have mothers who love them. After conducting some research on her family history, Anna decided to write this story to honour her mother's rather unusual young life. Anna graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor's Degree in History and English and a Diploma in Education. This is Anna's first novel.
