The phone call came during her daughter's school play, at the precise moment her daughter was about to perform. When she picked it up, the HR person's voice crackled through the speaker. She barely heard the words at first. The possibilities were endless. But so was the workload.

"Oh my gosh," she breathed, her voice cracking with emotion. She could hardly believe it.
