I guess I've been drawn to picking up non-fiction/memoirs about people who are in the care of their state, receive state/federal assistance, etc. and WOW has it been heavy.

Maid was well written and I was captivated by Stephanie's story. The reality of life as a single mother, needing assistance to survive, and working as a house cleaner are all things I've never experienced and knowing what that is like from the perspective of someone who lived those things for years and years and years was very eye opening.

Yes, this book is as good as the hype says. I recommend!
