June's book for Brown Bag with Books is Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and A Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land. Join us us for a fun and interesting conversation-all are welcome!
Book Summary: At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet.
Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie'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.
