She turned to housekeeping to make ends meet, and with a tenacious grip on her dream to provide her daughter the very best life possible, Stephanie worked days and took classes online to earn a college degree, and began to write relentlessly. She wrote the true stories that weren't being told: the stories of overworked and underpaid Americans. Of living on food stamps and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) coupons to eat. Of the government programs that provided her housing, but that doubled as halfway houses. The aloof government employees who called her lucky for receiving assistance while she didn't feel lucky at all. She wrote to remember the fight, to eventually cut through the deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid explores the secret underbelly of upper middle class Americans and the reality of what it's like to be in service to them. "I'd become a nameless ghost," Stephanie writers about her relationship with her clients, many of whom do not know her from any other cleaner, but who she learns plenty about. As she begins to discover more about her clients' lives - their sadness and love, too - she begins to find hope in her own path. Her compassionate, unflinching writing as a journalist gives voice to the "servant" worker, and those pursuing the American Dream from below the poverty line. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament of the strength, determination, and ultimate triumph of the human spirit. -- $c From dust jacket 600 10 $a Land, Stephanie, $d 1978- 650 0 $a Women household employees $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working class $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Single mothers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working poor $z United States. 650 0 $a Poverty $z United States. 650 1 $a Poverty $z United States. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Poverty & Homelessness. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Social Classes & Economic Disparity. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Poverty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074093 650 7 $a Single mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119370 650 7 $a Women household employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734125 650 7 $a Working class. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180418 650 7 $a Working poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180666 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 610 27 $a University of South Alabama $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)5241550-8 650 7 $a American dream $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4201448-7 650 7 $a Niedriglohn $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4437731-9 650 7 $a Soziale Ungleichheit $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4055736-4 650 7 $a Working class $z United States $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Single parents $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Working poor. $2 sears 650 7 $a United States $x Economic conditions. $2 sears 655 0 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Nonfiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Ehrenreich, Barbara, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 2 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240112140725.0 $n 10 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210823131327.0 $n 18 $p 2 Large Print, 1 cd book 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D4C5C08AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
