Cefaly studied theater at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama. Her writings are typically set in Alabama and the gulf-coast region where she spent her summers as a child. Her writings, which are heavily influenced by McClure, Williams and Henley, often explore themes such as disenchantment, fulfillment, longing and heartache. Her heavily-themed plays often include rich Southern characters and are made more accessible through simplistic dialogue and humor.
