Cathy-Lynn Song was the middle of three children of Andrew and Ella Song, born in 1955. Andrew Song was a second-generation Korean American whose father had come to Hawaii with the first wave of Korean laborers. His wife came later as a "picture bride," a bride whose marriage was arranged through the exchange of photographs.
Song traveled from Hawaii to Boston to attend Wellesley College, where she earned her bachelor's degree in English literature in 1977. She went on to earn a master's in creative writing at Boston University in 1981. It was while in Boston that Song was influenced by her second strong mentor, Kathleen Spivack.
Cathy has 3 children : 2 sons and a daughter. Her father was a pilot, allowing Song and her family to travel often.
