Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education by Stephanie Land

4.0

This memoir is what a memoir should be. It’s an honest reflection and narration of Land’s time finishing her undergraduate degree, raising a child, living below the poverty line, and her battle with the “system” designed to keep everyone in their own class.

It's not pretty and at times, Land’s choices are questionable but it’s real. Life isn’t easy and the choices we make aren’t always “right.” Land eloquently and bravely shares her truths of struggling to make ends meet, creating a family, furthering her education, all while trying to enjoy this thing we call life.
