Ann Hood was born in Rhode Island. She graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in American Literature and worked as a flight attendant for TWA for 8 years. Whilst working as a flight attendant, Ann got a Master's degree from New York University, also in American Literature. She lived in NYC until 1993 when she re-met and married someone she knew in high school.
Ann then moved back to Rhode Island and had a son, Sam. Her daughter Grace died in 2002 when she was 5; as a result, she adopted a baby from China, Annabelle.
