Book

The end of my career / Martha Grover.

Summary:

Whether cleaning houses or looking for love, Grover reveals a life both hilarious and traumatic played out in ordinary moments. As she enters her late thirties, she finds herself living with her parents again: reconciling the pleasures and perils of being female, chronically ill, and subsisting on menial labor at the edge of an increasingly unaffordable city.-- Source other than Library of congress.
