Ten years ago, I had just been promoted to vice president
of marketing for the company I work for, and I interviewed
several women for my executive secretary position. I was 42 and
an eager beaver. Lucinda Queensolver was 27 at the time and was
a 5 year clerical employee who had just gotten her short-hand

Joe walked in the door, his sister tagging along close
behind him. She closed the door, and they both headed to the kitchen
to get a drink. The two sat at the table, chatting about their day and

loved to visit him, he always had something new planned for me. I never
knew what was going to happen when I went over to AJ’s house.He was on the phone with someone, who I couldn’t tell you. He was

My only clothing is the collar on my neck, its bell tinkling softly as I approach the dark figure sitting on the couch.It’s the Young LadyShe’s looking distractedly at her phone, a boring expression on …
