Her critically acclaimed first novel, A Minor: A Novel of Love, Music, and Memory explores the relationship between music and dementia and releases as an audiobook with embedded classical music in 2025. Margaret writes across all genre and has essays in Christianity Today, Relevant, The Redbud Hyphen, and Patheos. Her Christmas book, Back to the Manger, lovingly illustrated by her mother in oil paintings, has become a holiday classic.
