Although Baker initially studied music, she obtained her M.A. in Afrikaans (cum laude) in 1968 at the University of Pretoria. In Johannesburg she worked as a school teacher and got married to Walter Baker in 1969. Three years later her debut Wêreld sonder einde appeared, albeit that Weerkaatsings (Reflections) established her status as an important (though unfortunately often undervalued) Afrikaans author who penned 56 books in the end. Since her husband was in the diplomatic service, the couple moved from Teheran to Den Haag and from there to Montreal and Brussels before returning to South Africa to retire. Baker died of cancer at the age of 57.

She sometimes used the pseudonyms Christine le Roux and Alex Muller.

“Alles wat met haar karakters gebeur, is moontlik. Dis miskien die ideaal, maar dis nie onmoontlik nie. Wat dit fantasie maak maak, is bloot die feit dat dit betyds ophou.”
