Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land
2.0
I soooooooo badly wanted to love this read. I actually pushed it to the top of my “to read” list I was that excited.
Which becoming doubly disappointing the quality of this book.
I wanted to cheer Stephanie on from the sidelines, pull for her and little Mia! But boy did she make it difficult. In addition to continually entrapping herself in relationships with obviously unreliable and unfit men, her writing is repetitive to the point of frustration. Yes, mold, we get it.
Brilliant concept, stories such as Maid need to be given life, and read so that people who don’t have a background in poverty can grow in their understanding of how so many people live and effect change. Unfortunately, this book did not deliver in what it was capable of.
Perhaps, Maid would have been more powerful as an article instead. Fingers crossed a similar book is written, by a better author.
