📺I read this eye-opening memoir back in early October on the heels of watching the award-winning Netflix series. Booksparks was kind enough to include me in their fabulous pre-screening, after which we were able to watch a live conversation between the author, Stephanie Land, the producers, and the lead actress Margaret Qualley.
🙈In an unusual departure from my norm, I actually watched the show before I read the book... don't @ me for breaking this unwritten bookworm rule, but man was the show AMAZING!!! I highly recommend it for a Netflix binge! It gave me great empathy for women who are victims of domestic violence and opened my eyes to the harsh realities that these women face in trying to work their way out of their situations.
😢Of course, the incredible Netflix series could not have been possible without this heartbreaking, yet redemptive memoir by Stephanie Land. It is an enlightening look into the world of the working poor, and the ways in which society undermines their progress at every turn. On that note, I should mention that the book and Netflix series are quite different.
