Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land
2.0
This book is different and that doesnt mean better just different
It is an honest retelling of the author's difficult life as a single mom with an unsupportive family. Its about her very strong love and connection to her daughter Mia.
Its about living in poverty and working to rise above the circumstances of a .
Its also about how other deal with those in her life situation.
Its about America
Stephanie land to me is not especially likeable. Her writing is OK and she becomes a writer which is her dream
This memoir covers a period of about 2-3 y and begins with her abusive relationship w Jamie who is the father of their child Mia. He is abusive and very violent. She does leave him or maybe he forces her to leave him. He stays in the memoir since he does see his daughter sometimes. Basically he hates Stephanie. There is another man in this memoir Travis who lives in a trailer and takes care of a farm. She and Mia join him until he tells them to leave.
There is something very vital missing in her life story that I would call a depth or a consciousness.
