She was born in the Philippines during post-American occupation and was raised among the native Bagobo tribe. She was involved with the Southern Philippines Cultural Communities based in Toril, Davao City. She also actively engaged in other civic activities to empower women. She speaks the native dialects Bagobo, Dabawnon, and Visayan and takes great pride in the legacy of her grandfather, the first American superintendent of schools in Davao, Philippines, 1909, and a short stint as justice of peace of Jolo, Sulu, in 1912.
Nancy, together with her family migrated to the United States in 1995. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. While trying to beat the disease and the depression brought about by the treatment, she decided to embark on fiction writing. She chose fiction due to the limitless range of ideas and imagination one could put in a story form.
Nancy is now cancer-free and lovingly dedicates this book to her children, who saw her ordeal during the treatment. They dealt with this traumatic experience bravely and in silence amid fear of losing their mother.view less
