About This Powerful Memoir

In "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive," Stephanie Land gives us an unflinching look at America's class divide through the lens of her own desperate struggle to survive as a single mother. This isn't just another poverty memoir – it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a call to action for social change.

Land's story follows her journey from an abusive relationship to working as a house cleaner while pursuing her education and raising her young daughter. Her vivid, honest prose reveals the daily indignities and small victories of those living paycheck to paycheck, making invisible struggles visible and giving voice to millions of working poor.

This book became the inspiration for the hit Netflix series and has been praised by critics and readers alike for its authentic portrayal of poverty, single motherhood, and the welfare system in America.
