Ann was born in 1961 and grew up in Loughton in Essex until her parents divorce when she was 22, when she moved with her mother to nearby Woodford Green. She now lives in Ilford in East London.

Despite their fathers alcoholism Ann and her sister both had horses and enjoyed an idyllic childhood, but things dramatically changed for Ann after her parents bitter divorce. This set off a series of events that spiralled out of control. After several years of misdiagnosis and tragedies, Ann has now found relative calm in which to tell her story.
