Cleaner. The Story of a Single Mother

Stephanie is 28 years old, and she is desperately trying to escape her hometown to fulfill her dream: to enter university and become a writer. Her plans are interrupted by an unexpected pregnancy and a court battle with the child's father. From that day on, Stephanie is a broke and homeless single mother who can only rely on herself. No one, including her own parents, can help her. For several difficult years, Stephanie struggles to provide a stable home for her daughter Mia, surviving on the scraps she receives in the form of various benefits and the painfully low earnings of a cleaner. In such a life, there is no room for weekends, celebrations with friends, or spontaneous purchases—only deteriorating health, the cheapest food, loneliness, panic attacks, and a constant fear for her child's future. She learns not to give up, to cherish the small joys of life, and to diligently pursue her dream. This is a tale of hope, determination, and the true strength of the human spirit, a book that will leave no one indifferent.
