A raw, candid memoir that follows a young single mother who leaves an abusive relationship and survives by working as a housecleaner while navigating shelters, welfare bureaucracy, and the shame and stigma of poverty; through day-to-day domestic labor, parenting, and the pursuit of education, she exposes the systemic barriers, moral judgments, and quiet resilience involved in trying to build a stable life for her child.
