Stephanie Land’s bestselling debut memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive recounts her harrowing saga as a single mom navigating the poverty trap. Her unflinching testimony exposes the physical, economic, and social brutality that domestic workers face, all while radiating a parent’s hope and dedication. In Land’s second memoir Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education, she picks up where Maid left off as she faces the new challenges of being a poor college student and single parent.
