Dr. Albert Weismer is in search of the ultimate academic goal-tenure. His student, Sophia Connors, is in search of something more. A happy life? A family of her own? Academic success? She's not really sure what she's looking for, but she does know that her life seems to be dependent on outside forces. And this is what she needs to change... Elegant and richly layered, Chasing the Great God Tenure is a vivid portrait of two lonely people, a student and her professor, whose lives intersect in unexpected ways...and with surprising results.
