Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive
Description
After an unexpected pregnancy reshapes her plans, a young mother turns to housecleaning to support her family while pursuing an education and nurturing her dream of becoming a writer. Moving between affluent homes and precarious living conditions, she confronts exhausting work, inadequate wages, public assistance, and the stigma directed at those living in poverty. With candor and vivid observation, this memoir reveals the hidden labor sustaining comfortable lives and explores motherhood, resilience, dignity, and the determination to build a better future.
