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.

Raising a seven-year-old daughter and caring for a newborn, single mother Stephanie Land tries her best to persevere through fatigue, hunger, a depleted food stamp balance, and a bank account hovering around ten dollars. Not to mention postpartum hormones, anxiety over finding suitable housing, and the fear of defeat in the battle of fulfilling her children’s needs and forging her own identity as a writer. With the help of a community of friends and her own steely will, Stephanie is determined to find a way forward to a life that can afford her family hope and joy.

We've all heard the complaint from parents: They're more overwhelmed than ever before - juggling demands on their time as well as conflicting advice from family, friends, frenemies, and "experts" on how to achieve parental perfection, or risk jeopardizing their little one's future happiness. Pediatrician Jane Scott has seen this parental anxiety up close, and in The Confident Parent she shares advice on how to cut through the confusion.

Il libro che ha ispirato la serie evento "Maid", in onda su Netflix da ottobre 2021. Per una serie di scelte sbagliate Stephanie Land, diventata madre da poco e costretta a fuggire da un compagno violento, precipita in uno stato di povertà assoluta. Mentre lavora duramente per tirare avanti, pulendo i gabinetti dei ricchi, destreggiandosi tra una serie di lavori domestici malpagati, lo studio e il complicatissimo mondo dell'assistenza governativa, Stephanie scrive. E scrive le storie non dette degli americani sovraccarichi di lavoro e sottopagati.

"Meine Tochter machte ihre ersten Schritte in einem Obdachlosenheim." Stephanie Land steht kurz davor, ihren Traum vom Studium in die Tat umzusetzen, als sie ungeplant schwanger wird.

Zusammen mit ihrer kleinen Tochter flüchtet sie schließlich aus ihrer toxischen Beziehung und landet auf der Straße. Doch statt zu verzweifeln beginnt Stephanie zu kämpfen: Mit einem Job als Putzhilfe schafft sie es gerade so, sich und ihre Tochter über Wasser zu halten.

Se dedicó a la limpieza para llegar a fin de mes, y con un control tenaz de su sueño de brindarle a su hija la mejor vida posible, Stephanie trabajó durante el día y tomó clases en línea para obtener un título universitario y comenzó a escribir sin descanso.
