Après avoir travaillé pendant 25 ans auprès d’organisations autochtones, elle a obtenu son diplôme en droit à l’âge de 43 ans, alors qu’elle était mère monoparentale, puis a consacré 14 ans à la défense des droits des survivants des pensionnats autochtones. Elle a obtenu une maîtrise en beaux-arts (MFA) en création littéraire tout en continuant à pratiquer le droit. Son premier roman, le best-seller Five Little Indians, lui a valu le Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général dans la catégorie fiction, le Amazon First Novel Award et le Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize.
