Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land

Alex Russell, a young mother living in Port Hampstead, Washington , leaves her alcoholic, emotionally and physically abusive boyfriend Sean in the middle of the night, taking their two-year-old daughter Maddy with her. Forced to sleep in a car and with scant money to spare, Alex visits a social worker, who informs her that she needs to present two pay stubs to qualify for subsidized housing. The only available job is at Value Maids, a cleaning company whose owner Yolanda hires her. Alex has her manic, freewheeling mother Paula - who works as an artist out of her boyfriend's RV - babysit Maddy while she takes the ferry to Fisher Island for her first shift at a lavish home owned by wealthy client Regina. Alex passes out midway through her shift; she returns to the mainland to discover that Paula has returned Maddy to Sean's care. Alex returns to Sean's trailer and takes Maddy back despite his protests. Yolanda calls to report that Regina was not satisfied with Alex's standard of cleaning; Alex opts to return to complete the job, but she and Maddy get into a car crash on the way there. Alex has her estranged father Hank drop them at the ferry station and waits there with Maddy.

Flashbacks show Alex first meeting Sean while reciting some of her personal writing at a restaurant. In the present, Alex is contacted by Sean's lawyer, who informs her that Sean has filed to reclaim full custody of Maddy. Alex's social worker advises that she take refuge at a nearby domestic violence shelter . While there, Alex befriends Danielle, a fellow resident. Alex loses her court case, granting Sean full custody of Maddy for 7 days till the court reconvenes. Danielle learns that Regina never paid Alex for her cleaning shift, and helps her steal Regina's dog to force her hand. Regina is initially irate and threatens to call the police, but Alex stands up to her, and later finds that Regina has sent the full payment. However, she discovers Danielle has left the shelter to return to her ex; the shelter's owner Denise informs Alex that most women only commit to their stay after several attempts. In her journal, Alex recounts her relationship with Sean souring after she chose to carry Maddy instead of undergoing an abortion.

Denise introduces Alex to her lawyer friend, who advises that while the legal system does not consider emotional abuse to be domestic violence, her claim may still grant her joint custody of Maddy. After a particularly grueling cleaning shift, Alex finds Sean drunk at a bar with friends and chastises him for his negligent parenting. Alex attempts to obtain a signature from her mother Paula as a character witness deeming her fit to parent Maddy, but Paula is inattentive and fixated on her art, and the two eventually have a bitter argument. Alex learns that Sean missed a bartending shift for the first time and discovers him intoxicated on the beach, reeling from the breakdown of his and Alex's relationship. Alex reminds him of the responsibility of being a parent and brings him home; the next day, Sean decides to drop his court case and agrees to share custody of Maddy with Alex. Alex and Maddy arrive at their new subsidized housing unit and find that Paula has painted it for them.

Alex's former acquaintance Nate, recently divorced and living on Fisher Island, provides her with his car; Alex is grateful, but politely declines Nate's romantic advances. On Thanksgiving Day , Alex works a shift at Regina's house while Regina is away with her husband on a weekend trip. After the job is complete, Alex treats herself to Regina's wine, tries on her clothes, and invites a Tinder date, Wayne, to the house, claiming it to be her own. However, Regina returns home that night, feeling miserable after being asked for a divorce by her husband. Regina shares with Alex that she struggled to conceive and that she and her husband had a child via surrogacy in an attempt to fix their failing marriage; she advises Alex not to let anyone take advantage of her. Alex reflects in her journal on how even the wealthy are often deeply unhappy. Prior to picking up Maddy from Sean's care, Alex texts Wayne to tell the truth about her circumstances.

Alex struggles to pay tuition for Maddy's daycare, and Maddy falls ill from black mold exposure while staying at the subsidized housing unit, which Alex is thereby forced to vacate. With Sean unable to care for Maddy amid working two shifts at the bar, Alex reluctantly takes Maddy to the home of her estranged father Hank, who has since remarried and yearns to help Alex. While cleaning a house in the woods once belonging to an infamous local thief dubbed "Barefoot Billy," Alex briefly g
