Author Margaret McBride was born and raised in North Carolina. She is a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and grand-mother. She and her husband live in Atlanta where her writing began as an act of personal reflection that ultimately led to the creative process of writing a novel. She feels she was divinely inspired to share this message of the importance of forgiveness and psychological healing to realize one’s spiritual purpose in life. She knows the greatest gift God can give is Life itself, but the second is the ability to forgive. In her first novel, she shares poignant memories of struggles and triumphs of some amazing people as they lived their gifts.
