Stephanie Land

This week on ‘The Write Question,’ host Lauren Korn speaks with Stephanie Land, author of ‘Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education’ (Atria/One Signal Publishers).

This week’s guests are Stephanie Land, author of the New York Times' best-selling memoir Maid; Steph Goble, executive director of Mountain Home; and Jill Hope, a young mother working her way through the challenges of creating a stable and secure environment in which to raise her son.
