SYNOPSIS:
In
the beginning, a tragic event started me on my journey to a destination and my
love for helping children of all ages and their families.
However,
what I was not prepared for was that the people who assisted me and paved the
way for my advancement in my chosen career in Child Protection were the same
people who tried to bring me down.
This
book will give you insight into what it is like to work in Child Protection. It
will show you the difficulties and sometimes dangers workers face on a daily
basis. Furthermore, the novel will also highlight the satisfaction you get when
you can assist a child and their family through a traumatic event.
My
career at Child Protection spanned nearly a decade, and during that time, I was
bullied by management. I observed management bully other workers; I was also
aware of workers consuming drugs, both outside work hours and during work
hours.
This
novel is a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens at Child Protection
when the public is not watching or listening.
Child
Protection is not an easy career path, but it can be a good job if you like
long hours, have a thick skin, keep your head down, keep your mouth shut, and
abide by everything that management wants you to do, even when you know it is
wrong or unfair.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
The
life of Jo Cooling is like living in a theme park: one minute, it's like riding
a roller coaster, baking cupcakes, cookies, and slices. With a kitchen covered
with chocolate, flour, and cooking utensils. Also trying to develop new tastes
and ideas for her growing baking business.
Sometimes,
she feels like she travels through life in a Dodge 'em car. All the while, she
works to complete two novels while caring for two Cavoodles, who believe their
mother was placed on this earth purely to play with them 24 hours a day.
But
no matter how out of control her life can be at times, eventually, she ends up
sailing around on the Walt Disney teacup ride on top of the world. However,
when she relaxes, the Cavoodles see this as an opportunity to snuggle on Mum's
lap.
Jo's
work career has been just as colorful as her current life. She has worked in
horse and car racing, sold lingerie, designed websites, been a Personal
Assistant, and worked as a Law Clerk.
Jo
looks at life like a box of chocolates: each day unwraps a new layer, revealing
unexpected flavors and textures.
