    "See You At Sunset" was many things to me - honest, heartfelt, precious and real. Despite the fiction status of this book - if you are a kid, a mom or a medical professional, you will relate to this book in way that is personal and speaks to your heart. Bottom line - this book brought me smiles, tears and most importantly comfort. Thank you Margarete for you courage and your grit!

  • "I had the pleasure of partnering with Margarete on a content creation project with the goal of motivating and inspiring caregivers and patients in the cystic fibrosis community. Working with her could not have been more seamless, professional, and rewarding. The content that she created exceeded everyone's expectations - it was beautiful, powerful, emotional, and honest. Not only did it resonate with the CF community, it also impacted patients and caregivers in other disease categories. She is a true inspiration and role model to everyone who she comes in contact with."
