Have you ever wondered what life is like for a migrant domestic worker in Singapore?

Our Homes, Our Stories offers a look through their eyes as they share real-life stories, from childhoods in mountain villages to rogue agents and difficult employers, and that one thing they all suffer from the most: homesickness, and the pain of leaving their families behind – in Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar and India.

The women write frankly about sacrifice, broken trust, exploitation, lack of food, and salary deductions. But there are also tales to lift the heart, of supportive employers, the love they have for the families they take care of, and how they use their time in Singapore to realise their dreams for the future.

All proceeds of this book go to Singaporean charity HOME (www.home.org.sg) to support their important work for migrants. All the writers in Our Homes, Our Stories are part of the HOME community, either as volunteers on their one day off, or as residents at HOME shelter for domestic workers.
