Description: "Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? In these insightful short stories, inspired by her experience as a social worker, Jennifer Lehmann takes us on a sociological excursion through the human muddle. Intriguing, challenging, often amusing, these narratives are guaranteed to prompt lively discussion. The second half of the book provides a framework for exploring the issues raised, with discussion guides for each story. In using stories as a tool for learning, the author encourages the development of 'reflective practice', a process in which we maintain an ongoing examination of our values and the ways in which we work with other people"--Jacket.
