Maid

Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive
Feb 16, 2020NANCY ELIZABETH WHITLATCH rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This book isn't about maids, or the kind of maid I would call a maid. A maid to me is black uniform, and white apron sort of thing. This book is about cleaning houses for a living to get out of financial dire straights. Land, the author, describes what it was like raising her daughter while struggling to stay in school and keep a roof over their head. There's the typical scenarios, that didn't surprise me, about the broken down family court system, abusive relationship, child support and custody. I liked the book; there was enough to keep me interested. It's much along the lines of Evicted, or Hillbilly Elegy. If your interested in one more story about someone struggling to get out from under the poverty line and how our welfare system works, this is one more persons story about it.
