Maid for It
Maid for It
After her mom's car accident, Franny is determined to keep their fragile world intact and prevent her mom from relapsing in this deeply moving story from acclaimed author Jamie Sumner.
Now that Franny and her newly sober mum have moved to a cosy apartment above a laundromat, Franny's looking forward to a life where her biggest excitement is getting top grades in maths class. But when Franny's mum gets injured in a car accident, their fragile life begins to crumble. There's no way her mum can keep her job cleaning houses, which means she can't pay the bills. Franny can't forget what happened the last time her mum was hurt: the pills that were supposed to help became an addiction, until rehab brought them to Mimi’s laundromat and the support group she hosts.
Franny will not let addiction win again, even if she has to blackmail a school rival to help her clean houses. She'll make the money and keep her mum sober—there's no other choice. But what happens if this is one problem she can't solve on her own?
