Whoops--I listened to this before I listened to Maid, and it's basically a continuation. That's fine--doesn't impact the storytelling, at least as far as I can guess, just dumb on my part. Land recounts her senior year of college (in her mid-30s) and all the financial and relationship fuckery that made it the hardest, hungriest year of her life, but hopefully didn't impact her daughter Emilia as intensely. Land is a good narrator--straightforward with just hints of emotion in her voice at the my trying parts of her memoir. I'm eager for the next book, and I want to find out what happened to that dickhead in the creative writing department who said that kids don't belong in graduate school. Like that's her call to make!
