A beautiful, gritty and poignant account of one mother's journey from cleaning houses to finding a home for herself and her daughter.
'A work full of integrity and of the grit, graft and grace that comes with it. Stephanie Land's memoir is an essential manual in the sort of resilience, hope and diligence many of us will be fortunate enough to never experience. Maid comes from the gut not the gutter. Stephanie Land was meant to be a writer.' LISA BLOWER, award-winning author of Sitting Ducks
