Brief description: Sylvia Dickey Smith believes in the tremendous power of story. To her, story is that thing that connects us one to the other. It gives us something to hang onto while we find our way through life. It defines who we are, what we stand for, and often what we absolutely will not stand for. Within the process of storytelling, she says, we find our voice. When she isn't writing, she enjoys talking to the stranger in line at the supermarket, at the gas station, in the shopping center. Such conversation gives her a glimpse into story.
