The fictional book by Marion Willingham McKenney, who writes under the pen name A.J.C. Mackey and now lives in Huntersville, N.C., tells the story of a teacher who thinks her dreams have come true, only to have them shattered by the cruel hand of fate. When Mackey's central character finds her dream job as a teacher, she discovers she has no support and is constantly surrounded by back-stabbing and jealousy.
