Good afternoon! I hope everyone has had a chance to dig into Maid over the past week, and I hope you’ve been enjoying it so far.

Maid opens with an epigraph from Maya Angelou that says, “I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life”. What are the key differences between making a living and making a life, and is it possible for them to be one and the same? What role should making a living play in making a life?

What particular significance does this quotation have when it comes to Stephanie Land’s story?
