Win a Copy of "Maid" by Stephanie Land
About "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive"
"Maid" is an authentic, reflective, and sobering look at a woman’s struggle to support herself and her daughter while living paycheck to paycheck and trying to navigate the difficult challenges, and ever-shrinking resources, of the American social safety net. Ms. Land’s direct language and descriptions of her experiences result in a memoir that is as thought-provoking as it is moving. Recommended for readers who enjoyed "Educated" by Tara Westover and "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City" by Matthew Desmond.
