Log inI'm just reading your book now. I love how you have captured the day to day life and pressures of a woman who strives to live every day.
I was raised by a mother like that. She was a single mom and she worked three different jobs.
I was a woman like that myself working seventeen hour days at times. I worked two jobs and put myself through school, plus I was a single mother of three children. It was a crazy time and life. Thankfully life is different now. But I never forget.
Your main character also captures all the other things crushing in, Mom's illness, Dad's constant badgering and guilt tripping.
If you haven't lived this life and this isn't you in your writing then I have to say bravo, because it seems as though you write from experience.
One woman I worked with, even her mother in law got on the guilt train and she'd whine that she didn't send any money back home.
Very realistic problems and worries you're writing, and people who haven't ever experienced that kind of pressure have no idea. I hope to see more of your work.
