Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie LandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A story of resilience and perseverance, Stephanie Land was a homeless, single mother who was living paycheck to paycheck and on government assistance just trying to provide the best life for her young daughter, but still had big dreams that she wanted to pursue. This story not only addresses her life as a maid cleaning other people's houses, but also the faults in government programs and societal prejudices on those with low income. This audiobook promoted empathy, encouraged a change in perspective and ultimately, made me want to clean my house after hearing some of her cleaning horror stories.
For fans of inspirational memoirs, societal impact stories and even "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed.
