Resumen del Editor

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick
A New York Times Most Anticipated Books of Fall

From the New York Times bestselling author who inspired the hit Netflix series about a struggling mother barely making ends meet as a housecleaner, a “raw and inspiring” (People) memoir about college, motherhood, poverty, and life after Maid.

When Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir Maid, she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019, he called it an “unflinching look at America’s class divide…and a reminder of the dignity of all work.” Later, it was adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid, which was viewed by sixty-seven million households and was Netflix’s fourth most-watched show in 2021, garnering three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Stephanie’s escape out of poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions.

Maid was a story about a housecleaner, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In Class, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system, food insecurity, the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn’t understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties.

Class paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college? And what kind of work is valued in our culture? In clear, candid, and moving prose, Class grapples with these questions, offering a searing indictment of America’s educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother’s triumph against all odds.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Stephanie Land, who wrote MAID, had a laser-focused goal to succeed as a writer, and this memoir proves that in spades. Her presentation of her life, which included an abusive husband, an unpredictable father to her daughter, and financial challenges, would send anyone over the edge. It all got her down, but she never gave up. Land’s exacting words and notable phrasing immerse listeners in a story of poverty, including the sacrifices she made to graduate from college and then get a Master of Fine Arts so she could write for a living. She concludes with an epilogue explaining her current successes. Fans of her previous work will be drawn to this memoir for its honesty, integrity, and candor." (AudioFile Magazine)

Amazing

This book is one of my favorites now. Coming from a rough childhood, to abusive relationship's, and trying to break generation curses, I really needed to read and listen to this book for strength. Stephanie understands how hard life is and what it is to keep pushing when the odds are against you. Amazing book. The way it end I pray she writes another one.

Author

Honest telling of a true story. The author made no effort to sugar coat anything. Some may judge her but that’s likely a reflection of our more privileged lives. Highly recommend.

A book that will open your eyes

I read this book because I first read Maid. Throughout this book there were times when I considered Stephanie’s decisions and wondered if I would have chosen the same. But it doesn’t matter…because this is her story, not mine and throughout her amazing narrative she has relentlessly lived her truth with a stubborn bravery that I admire.

Raw and Relatable

I enjoyed Maid so much, and this one lived up to my expectations. Ms. Land shares her story in a way that allows you to connect even when her story may not be exactly yours. Her stories will have a lifelong impact on my as a daughter of a single mom, and being a new single mom myself. I would love to thank her for shattering sterotypes.

Hooked from Page One

Another phenomenal book by the talented Stephanie Land. Tears stream down my face as I process the final words of your book. You are an inspiration, a survivor, and a thriver, and I am elated for the success you've had with Maid; Maid, the Netflix Series, Class, your in-demand speaking engagements, the gifts of your rich, full, personal life and what might be next. Perhaps another Netflix series?

Female Gaze

Love that Stephanie Land narrated the book. She’s excellent!

I’m marveling at how honest Land is in her book. How close in time the experiences she writes about actually occurred. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Montana in 2014. The book focuses on her senior year as a 34-year-old single mom.

It’s such an uncomfortable book. But prickliness makes for a good read. I felt the same way when I watched “Fleabag.” Hated it. But kept watching and realized I didn’t really hate it. I just wasn’t used to an imperfect female protagonist. And Land is imperfect. But she’s methodical in cataloging all of the flaws in herself and in this system of white supremacy and patriarchy we’ve created as a society. She also celebrates her victories in small quiet ways.

Her battle to get into grad school is heartbreaking. But wow! The cattiness of some of the professors left me gobsmacked. Maybe if you’ve only written one book no one has ever read, should you really be directing a creative writing program?

Land’s gotta write another book about her quests. I’m hooked no matter how flawed this protagonist is. The world needs more stories from the female gaze.
