Lestrange was born in Little Gibraltar to a prominent, upper middle-class family of lawyers and doctors. Although she attended Avalon College to become a nurse, she left without completing her studies to pursue a Bohemian lifestyle. Subsisting on her parents' finances, Lestrange spent months away from home, traveling to the mainland to explore the country. After spending several years in the Styxie, she returned to the Southland. She developed a close fondness for Porciúncula and the surrounding area, and eventually settled in Riverside where she lived with her husband, fellow poet Manuel Fonseca, and their three children.

| - Lestrange was born in Little Gibraltar to a prominent, upper middle-class family of lawyers and doctors. Although she attended Avalon College to become a nurse, she left without completing her studies to pursue a Bohemian lifestyle. Subsisting on her parents' finances, Lestrange spent months away from home, traveling to the mainland to explore the country. After spending several years in the Styxie, she returned to the Southland. She developed a close fondness for Porciúncula and the surrounding area, and eventually settled in Riverside where she lived with her husband, fellow poet Manuel Fonseca, and their three children. Although her most creative period in life occurred during the initial years of her life in Riverside, her subject matter often dealt with the Channels and her hometown, and spoke fondly of her childhood. She produced her first novel,Forsaken at Sea which was poorly received at the time and was nearly discouraged from writing again. After struggling with depression, she joined the Methodist Church in 1859, and began turning her attention towards writing novels and plays. In order to sustain her career, and the long hiatuses in her poetry and novel creations, she wrote for various newspapers as a columnist under various pseudonyms, most under male names (the most prominent being "Harry Stein"). She was a known republican, and sympathized with the Landon during the Sierran Civil War, although she refrained from speaking on the matter for many years during and after the war. She however, contributed a series of papers and articles defending Landon's ideas (From the Eyes of a Frenchwoman), which were released posthumously in 1972. Recognition of Lestrange as an accomplished writer came towards the end of her life as literary critics began seriously considering her works.
