Corazon, Donita, and Angel are Filipina domestic workers--part of the
wave of women sent to Singapore to be cleaners, maids, and caregivers.
Corazon: A veteran domestic worker, Cora had retired back to the
Philippines for good, but she has returned to Singapore under mysterious
circumstances. Now she's keeping a secret from her wealthy employer, who
is planning an extravagant wedding for her socialite daughter.
Donita: Barely out of her teens, this is Donita's first time in
Singapore, and she's had the bad luck to be hired by the notoriously
fussy Mrs. Fann. Brazen and exuberant, Donita's thrown herself into a
love affair with an Indian migrant worker.
Angel: Working as an in-home caregiver for an elderly employer,
Angel is feeling blue after a recent breakup with the woman she loves.
She's alarmed when her employer's son suddenly brings in a new nurse who
may be a valuable ally...or meant to replace her.
Then an explosive news story shatters Singapore's famous
tranquility--and sends a chill down the spine of every domestic worker.
Flordeliza Martinez, a Filipina maid, has been arrested for murdering
her female employer. The three women don't know the accused well, but
she could be any of them; every worker knows stories of women who were
scapegoated or even executed for crimes they didn't commit.
Shocked into action, Donita, Corazon, and Angel will use their
considerable moxie and insight to piece together the mystery of what
really happened on the day Flordeliza's employer was murdered. After
all, no one knows the secrets of Singapore's families like the women who
work in their homes...ered. After all, no one knows the secrets of
Singapore's elite like the women who work in their homes...
