Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land

I loved the Netflix series so much that I decided to read the book to hopefully gain more insight. Sadly I was disappointed. I realized that the series is loosely based on the book. Felt distant from the author and there were so many unexamined factors that could have made the book more impactful. While this wasn’t my favorite memoir, it did shed some light on the struggles of poverty and the cycle of getting stuck in emotionally abusive relationships. I'd recommend skipping the book and watching the series instead.
