Nacida en Cochrane, Ontario, tuvo que mudarse varias veces en su infancia debido al trabajo de sus padres. Ellis decidió comenzar a escribir cuando tenía entre 11 y 12 años de edad. Cuando creció, su obra y su escritura fueron hechas principalmente mediante el viajar y hablar a otros que tienen problemas y documentar las cosas principales. Ella inició la escritura de su primer libro, El pan de la guerra, un tiempo después.
