Margaret Brand

Margaret was raised in the Exclusive Brethren, leaving the strict sect when she was twenty-three to marry her husband, Robert. They live in Hobart, Tasmania, with their French Bulldog, Oscar.

She is a humanitarian, who has sponsored third world children through World Vision, and Watoto, an organization who helps women and children in Uganda and South Sudan. She has also contributed to numerous charities over the years.

Margaret operated her own tourist accommodation business from their property at Acton Park, on the outskirts of Hobart for two decades before retiring. It didn’t take long before she took up volunteering at a private hospital, working in the Endoscopy department and the Cardiac Centre for almost five years.

Her unfinished memoir was playing heavily on her mind, so she gave up volunteering to focus on completing Revelations from Spirt: Over -coming-Grief.
