Berea, OH Author Publishes Fiction Diary

A TALE THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD: DIARY OF A WAYWARD CASEWORKER, a new book by Lorraine J. Smith, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

a fictional diary of the bureaucratic, outrageous, infuriating, hilarious work situations in the Welfare Department. The characters, clients, coworkers, and bosses tend to be bizarre, endearing, or irritating-rather like the TV series OFFICE, but stranger. It also touches on the futility of some bureaucratic innovations.

Photo taken 2018 during a trip where I stayed at Tree House in the Amazon. I was at a village when it started pouring and I was waiting out the rain when the villager handed me a baby tree sloth that he had rescued from the river.

I was thrilled.
