I bought Maid by Nita Prose from one of my favourite bookstores
--Bolen Books in Hillside Mall on Vancouver Island, BC
I was compelled to keep reading because of Molly. Twenty-five-year-old, neurodivergent Molly is an endearing, dynamic character who grows through the course of the story.
Nine months ago, Molly's seventy-five-year-old grandmother died. Gran was Molly's roommate, her only family, her only friend. Gran's death left Molly truly alone. Alone with only fond memories and Gran's inspirational sayings for comfort.
I kept reading because I wanted to know--. I needed to know, will what Gran left behind be enough to sustain Molly through the cyclone that will become her life?
And I was rewarded. Oh, how I was rewarded.
Thank you, Nita Prose. I hope you write again really soon.
And the best news, plans are in the works to adapt The Maid for the screen.
Read The Maid. After the years we've weathered through you deserve it.
