Margaret H. Baroody has been a homemaker, foster parent, community volunteer, licensed social worker and teacher, teaching at Francis Marion University and King’s Academy, a private high school. Her passion for art is mirrored in her love of the written word. It is with great care that she and her late husband N.B. selected the passages for The Unexpected Visitor and share a more personal narrative.
 Photographer Naseeb B. Baroody was a cardiologist on the teaching faculty of the McLeod Family Medicine Residency Program in Florence, South Carolina, and a co-founder of Mercy Medical, a local free medical clinic. He was involved in medical mission work in places as diverse as Ecuador, India and Egypt.
As a youth, the technical and artistic aspects of photographic expression fascinated him. Beginning with the classic Baby Brownie and progressing into medium- and large-format cameras, N. B. Baroody honed his craft through workshops with legendary teachers such as Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Bruce Barnbaum.
This husband and wife's collaboration, The Unexpected Visitor, published by Joggling Board Press in 2010, is winner of a silver 2010 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord Reviews for best book of photography and a bronze 2011 Independent Publisher Book Award (IPPY) from Independent Publisher as one of the best inspirational/spiritual books of the year.
