Description
- This autobiography is a candid and skillful account of Land's years serving upper-middle-class families in America as a "Nameless Phantom," quietly sharing his clients' triumphs, tragedies, and darkest secrets. Driven by a desire to build a better life for her family, she cleans by day, studies online at night, and writes relentlessly as she works toward her college degree. She wrote true, never-before-told stories of living on food stamps and food stamps, of government support programs that provided only housing, of indifferent public servants who humiliated her because of what little aid she had.
- On top of all this, she writes about chasing the illusion of the American dream from the poverty line, all the while working her way through ingrained stigmas in society about the working poor. The Maid's diary tells Stephanie's story, but it is not her story alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, tenacity and inexhaustible strength of the human spirit.
