Book Description
In this pregnancy romance by USA TODAY bestselling author Sharon Kendrick, Cinderella is bound to the Italian! A "no-strings" encounter… Now she’s expecting! Showing a prospective buyer around the country mansion she works in isn’t a typical day for shy housekeeper Lizzie. But the moment superrich Niccolò Macario arrives, she’s blown away by their mutual attraction. It’s clear he never does commitment, but the promise of one breathtaking night is irresistible… After a life marked by tragedy, letting someone close goes against Niccolò’s every instinct. So, when he receives a letter with the bombshell that Lizzie’s pregnant, Niccolò is floored—because his only thought is to find her, bring her to Manhattan and claim his child! From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.
Maid
Author: Stephanie LandPublisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 0316505102
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
"A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide (Barack Obama)," this New York Times bestselling memoir is the inspiration for the Netflix limited series, hailed by Rolling Stone as "a great one." At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit. "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work." -PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List

Book Description
Excerpt from The Child Housekeeper: Simple Lessons, With Songs, Stories, and Games This is emphatically a good and a great thing to do. Any one who can put poetry into dish-washing, and spring sunshine into the house-cleaning we men had learned to associate only with colds and with loose tacks and bad language, has given the world a real boost toward the better day. For when it comes to that, the best of that day will always be the home, as it is of this, and whoever helps make it better and brighter by putting cheer into the things which were slavery before, why, that one is a real Santa Claus of all the seasons.

The Maid's Daughter
Author: Mary RomeroPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479814660
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
At a very young age, Olivia left her family and traditions in Mexico to live with her mother, Carmen, in one of Los Angeles's most exclusive and nearly all-white gated communities. Based on over twenty years of research, Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life. We watch as she struggles through adolescence, declares her independence and eventually goes off to college and becomes a successful professional. Much of her story is told in Olivia's voice and we hear of both her triumphs and her setbacks. Romero explores this story about belonging, identity, and resistance, illustrating Olivia's challenge to establish her sense of identity, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion in her life. Romero points to the hidden costs of paid domestic labor that are transferred to the families of private household workers and nannies, and shows how everyday routines are important in maintaining and assuring that various forms of privilege are passed on from one generation to another. She shows how mythologies of meritocracy, the land of opportunity, and the American dream remain firmly in place while simultaneously erasing injustices and the struggles of the working poor.
