So excited to tell you! My book, “Thrown Again into the Frazzle Machine: Poems of Grace, Hope, and Healing” is a Finalist for a Midwest Book Award (In the Health category). Yay!

I’m trying to decide if I should drive up to St. Paul, MN with my husband for the Awards Gala next month. It could be a fun spring outing, listening to an audio book, one of our favorite things to do. I won’t know the results ahead of time, so… cross your fingers for me.

Another 5 star review on Amazon.com:
“Normally, I don’t understand poetry, but maybe it’s because there has been no connection for me; but Margaret’s resonates and I feel what she felt when she wrote it. The illness and loss of a loved one, the appreciation for nature, and my own battle with cancer and surgeries, the similarities are striking a chord with me. I’m finding great comfort in these poems.” The Bear Lady
