ABOUT THE BOOK

   

Hidden lives. Buried secrets… It’s time to shine a spotlight on it all.

 

Corazon, Angel and Donita have all come to Singapore to work for a living. The thing that unites them? Their labour must remain unseen.

Then an explosive news story shatters Singapore’s tranquillity, 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 for crimes they didn’t commit.

Shocked into action, Donita, Corazon and Angel must gather every ounce of bravery,

fearlessness and gumption to piece together the mystery of what really happened on that fateful day. After all, no one knows the secrets of Singapore’s families like the women who work in their homes….
