Snow Smith, Katherine: - Katherine Snow Smith has lived throughout the South as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, public relations executive, daughter, sister, mother, wife, divorcee, and friend. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and started her journalism career covering three miniscule towns in South Carolina. After a stint covering business in Charlotte, NC, she got married, moved to Florida, and started a twenty-year career at the Tampa Bay Times--first covering business, and then, after having a baby, creating a parenting column, Rookie Mom, for the paper. Now--three kids, two careers, and one divorce later--she's embracing the fact that life has many chapters.
