Stephanie Land, author of the best-selling memoir “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive” will be a featured speaker at AHF Live: The Affordable Housing Developers Summit in Chicago in November.

Land’s compelling story of being a single mom working as a housecleaner and navigating the poverty trap was the inspiration of Netflix’s popular series “Maid.”

In her second book “Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education,” Land picks up where “Maid” left off as she faced the new challenges of being a poor college student and single parent.

In her books, Land captures the tightrope that many families must walk each day to survive. She’ll share her story at AHF Live.
