Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education

Stephanie land has the uncanny ability to remember details of her life that are so beautiful and mundane.

In Class, Land addresses themes from her first memoir, but really dives into the loneliness and struggle for single parents attempting to get their bachelors degree. This book perfectly addresses the main content of the story as well as the society, implications surrounding impoverished people class and who is considered “worthy” of government assistance, education, or family. Land is a beautiful writer and it's inspiring to hear how she felt before she thought being a writer was ever an opportunity she was going to be able to have. Her personal experience with poverty and systematic issues in governmental assistance agencies opens your eyes to how difficult and redundant so many of these system are. I will read anything she writes.
