That’s My Girl follows Todd Shea as he makes a life changing decision to raise his infant daughter on his own. It is not a book about young adults and their relationships. This work is a powerful commentary on social service agencies, family law, and professional roles. It is a must read for anyone thinking about pursuing a degree in Social Work, Psychology, or Law. This fictional narrative is loaded with twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat as you follow Todd and Ashley on their journey.
That’s My Girl is the result of writing and further re-writing over a number of years. This work is based on Roger Slagle’s experiences as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker while working in Child protective Service agencies, Adolescent Group Homes and Out-Patient Mental Health in Alaska, Oregon and California within a 38 year time period.
