Books & Brews- Maid

This is an event for people over the age of 21 and registration is encouraged!

Enjoy a local brew as we discuss Stephanie Land's Maid. Here is an Amazon Summary: 

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.

Every month on the first Saturday we will meet to enjoy discussing a book and sample local brews. 

We will be sampling all types of Brews; Coffee, Teas, Beer, and Hard Ciders while discussing the book. 

This event is brought to you by the Lakewood Library Friends.
