Summary
In my opinion, a book that is written by the one who experienced their stories first-hand, writes and describes their stories the best. Just as the author of this book, Stephanie Land, is a mother and a maid herself, and wrote this wonderful book about her experience of living in poverty. I personally loved the way the author expressed her story in detail that it touched me and her story taught me the value of gratefulness. The author represented the voice of a million underprivileged people and the people who lived in pure poverty in the United States. This book is recommended for the readers who wants to understand the situation of living in poverty, a difficult life, living in an abusive relationship and combat the general psychology of "poor people are lazy".
