I, Brenda L. Smith, Ph D, a retired educator, have been a teacher, principal, an assistant superintendent of schools, and a college professor. With my dissertation, “Utilizing Expectancy Theory in an Investigation of Characteristics and Career Aspirations of Women Administrators in Georgia Public Schools, ” completed in 1994, my attention turned to contemporary fiction stories I longed to share.
