Sophia checked the time again. 10:53 am. Popping a breath mint into her mouth, she checked her hair one last time and grabbed the final revision of “Serendipity.” She could hardly believe that this was it. She was finally going to be a published author. The folder felt leaden in her hands. So much had gone into this. So many people’s lives, so much joy, so much pain. Clasping the final result of her labor tightly against her chest, Sophia opened the door, stepped out of her car, and headed for the doors on the front of the building. Today she was the most empowered woman in the world. Today she would tell the world her story.
