Legally Reading: Maid by Stephanie Land

Tue, 06/08/2021 - 12:30

Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie Land's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night. Above all else, she writes about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor.
