Olive Ann Burns was born in 1924 on a farm in Banks County, Georgia, and attended Commerce High School, which served as the inspiration for Cold Sassy. She attended Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, earned a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and worked for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution's Sunday magazine staff for ten years. Throughout her cancer treatment, she turned to fiction writing for a break. Before her death in 1990, she finished Cold Sassy Tree and a partial manuscript for its sequel, Leaving Cold Sassy.
