Denise Davy's book "Her Name Was Margaret" is a heartbreaking illustration of what can happen to our most vulnerable in society.
Denise analyzed over eight hundred pages of medical records and conducted interviews with Margaret's friends and family to write her book which looks at how one woman became homeless. It's also the story of how thousands of others became homeless and should serve as a wake-up call to politicians and leaders in cities across Canada.
Denise Davy is a nationally recognized award-winning journalist who worked at the Hamilton Spectator for 26 years and was twice honoured with the Journalist of the Year award by the Ontario Newspaper Association, is a recipient of a National Newspaper Award, several Ontario Newspaper Association awards, and four national journalism fellowships.
