A memoir of the struggling single mother who works cleaning houses for crappy pay. Trying to provide for her child and keep things going is almost more than can be done with the resources at hand. How can you afford to move out of your apartment with black mold when you have to miss work to take your kid to the doctor because she is sick from the black mold? How can you maintain your income when your car is wrecked when you need your can to get to your job? With no safety net, no savings, and a family who is also experiencing poverty, there are really very few options. This mother does escape poverty but reading this makes you wonder HOW she could maintain the level of effort needed to propel herself out of such a bad situation.
