Overview"Selected by the Good Morning America Book Club - Featured among the Most Anticipated Books of Fall by The New York Times Described as ""raw and inspiring"" by People, Oplia, in this compelling memoir, not only delves into her personal journey but also explores the broader implications of falling through the cracks of American capitalism, as acknowledged by The New York Times. While Lessons of Life centered on a housecleaner's narrative, it was equally a tale of a woman harboring a dream. In Lessons of Life, Oplia chronicles her college completion and ventures into the realm of a writing career. Confronting obstacles like a convoluted loan system, financial scarcity for even basic needs, and the misconceptions of professors and peers ignorant of the struggles faced under the poverty line-Land not only survives but also graduates in her mid-thirties. This memoir poses crucial questions about artistic creation rights, access to education, and the societal valuation of different types of work. Through clear, candid, and emotionally moving prose, Lessons of Life grapples with these inquiries, delivering a scathing critique of America's educational system and an uplifting testimony to a mother's triumph against overwhelming odds."
