Publisher's Synopsis
AUTHOR MARGARET FITZPATRICK SIMKINS is the daughter of Irish immigrants. She grew up in Inkster Michigan near Detroit, married Earl Simkins, and had four children. She was a good Catholic and a conventional suburban housewife until the 1960s when she was radicalized by the social and civil rights movements of the times. More than 50 years later, as she approaches her 90th birthday, Margaret continues to be a dedicated activist for peace, social justice and equity for all people, and for the protection of our planet Earth. Margaret says, "Peace love and harmony aren't just words; they must be believed, and they must be followed by action." Margaret lives in Arizona most of the year and spends summers in Michigan visiting her 4 adult children and their partners, 11 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and lifelong friends.
