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

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

 Stephanie Land's second memoir is riveting. Class honestly chronicles the end of Land's undergraduate degree studies. While you might expect the constant financial struggles, food insecurities, and single-parenting burdens to be shared with clarity, this book is also very sex positive as Land doesn't apologize for having a sex drive and chooses to have her second child while unpartnered. This book puts a human face to some of America's most pervasive problems (the high cost of higher education, food, housing) and is an empowering read.
