After losing her job and home in 1984, Lynn Carr was living with her five-year-old son. “We slept in our car for about a week,” she said, “but then it was sold.”

As she moved from one friend’s house to another, Lynn began working toward a high-school-equivalence diploma (高中同等学历*书), listening to self-help tapes and making cakes.

After developing some new ways to make better cakes, she offered her cakes to a restaurant. The restaurant sold out all the cakes in several hours.

The following year, she met a man at a church and before long they married. Lynn began selling the cakes out of their home. Later she opened a cake company. As business became better and better, Lynn didn’t forget where she came from.

All the women she hires (雇用) are mothers or high-school dropouts (退学者). Her twelve workers make 100 to 150 cakes a week and Lynn owes (归功于) her success to her workers. She says, “We’re going to have a learning center and a day-care center in the company. Part of the workday will be spent studying for high-school-equivalence diplomas.”

Recently, a 33-year-old woman with three children came to Lynn. She hired her at once. “It is a real happy thing,” the woman said.
