A Very Famous Social Worker

<p>When Greg Johnson was interviewing for a job at a mental health center his interview was interrupted by a police officer with a naked woman in tow. I was looking for an adventure he says and this looked like it.</p> <p><i>In A Very Famous Social Worker</i> the author recounts with insight and humor his experiences as a rookie social worker in West Virginia's Greenbrier Valley. His unlikely parade of clients include a preacher whose wildly rebellious children are threatening to bring down his ministry a teenage underwear fetishist a man obsessed with Dolly Parton and a schizophrenic poet. He goes the extra mile often literally teaching a client to drive transporting an inebriated musician to rehab and navigating a winding country road with a three-tiered wedding cake.</p> <p>Engaging and entertaining <i>A Very Famous Social Worker</i> sheds light on a profession practiced by 600000 Americans that remains little known to the general public.</p>
