Engleson, Bill.
Like a child to home / Bill Engleson. - 1st ed. - Victoria, B.C. : Friesen Press, 2013. - vi, 235 pages ; 23 cm
Wally Rose, a brooding, sporadically up-beat, old-time social worker, is juggling a convoluted caseload of troubled youth. An old file comes back to bedevil him. A habitual line-crosser, he may have pushed his luck one too many times. Wally has been "nurturing" kids and fellow workers for decades. He has little patience for red tape and is a thorn in the side of his employer. He is also running out of gas. He hopes he can fill his tank one more time, not only to save himself, and those he cares for, from a capricious system, but also to draw his career to a close on his own terms.
