Nancy Hill-Wood was born at Kyogle and taken to Bombaderry Aboriginal Children's home as a baby. She stayed until she was twelve. She went to the Cootamundra Aboriginal Girls Home Training Home and remained there until she was fifteen.
Hill-Wood began writing in 2005, in response to memories of her childhood reactivated by comments by Pauline Hanson regarding racial difference. [Source: Love, Life and Pain, p. vii]
