Author: Stephenie Land

Pages: 304

At twenty-eight, Stephenie Land's dreams of going to college and becoming a writer were quickly dashed when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, struggling to make ends meet as a maid. This autobiography is a candid and masterful account of Land's years serving America's upper-middle-class families as a "nameless specter," quietly sharing her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and darkest secrets. Driven by a desire to make a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and studied online by night, writing relentlessly while working toward her college degree.
