About Margaret

Margaret P. Cunningham’s short stories have won several national contests and have appeared in magazines and anthologies including many Chicken Soup for the Soul books. One True Place is Margaret’s second novel, following her enormously successful first book, Lily in Bloom.

Margaret grew up on her father’s nursery in Mobile, Alabama. She has spent her entire life on Alabama’s beautiful gulf coast where she still lives with her husband, Tom. She enjoys writing, reading, gardening and “beaching it” with her family and friends.
