Tragic experiences during her life have taught her valuable coping skills where she was able to build resilience and learn the importance of kindness, empathy and compassion. Margaret has a passionate interest in health, social justice and ethics and its these values that motivated her to write this book. Margaret lives in rural New South Wales and enjoys arts, crafts, family life and community.
