I'm currently rewatching this show. I first found it on Netflix about a year ago. We meet a young woman and her young child who is fighting to get sole custody and government assistance to flee her abusive boyfriend. We get a first hand look at how frustrating and time consuming it is to apply for all the different services and try to succeed.
She takes a job at a maid service to try and support her daughter all while attending "bad mom classes", court dates, moving into different low income apartments.
I didn't know this show was based off of a book, so I'll definitely need to check that out. Well acted, beautiful scenery.
