Her doctoral degree is from Teachers College, Columbia University. She has traveled extensively including a two-year teaching assignment in Sydney, Australia. After visiting Ireland on numerous occasions, she began to research her family tree. This research, conducted over a period of twelve years, led to the collection of family stories and eventually this book. Margaret lives in New York City and Ft. Myers, Florida with her husband, Warren and family.
