We eat first, they later, often out of food portioned out for them; we live in the front, they in the back; we sit on chairs and they on the floor; we drink from glasses and ceramic plates and they from ones made of steel set aside for them; we call them by their names, and they address us by titles: sir/ma'am, sahib/memsahib... Every year, thousands of poor, illiterate, unskilled women flock to Delhi from villages across the country to work as domestic help. This is how Fullin from Athgama in rural Jharkhand, Lovely from a tiny settlement in Malda, Golbanu bibi from Doparia, Mae from Kokrajhar and a Santhali girl from Annabiri, in the heart of Maoist country-find themselves in the nation's most powerful city, working for its richest people. This is how tycoons and refugees, politicians and orphans-India's one per cent and her 99 per cent-rub shoulders every day, under the same roof. In the not so distant past, everyone's place- whether maid, ayah or cook, sahib or memsahib- was well understood. There were clear rules for negotiating (and maintaining) the vast chasm between the two sides. Today, it's a little different. There are housekeepers who are part of the middle class who ensure their children join white-collar India. There are teenage girls brought to the city by 'aunts' and 'uncles' to serve as '24-hour' help, who find themselves virtually, and sometimes literally, caged. There are employers who wrestle with the guilt of spending more on an Italian meal in a fancy hotel than on those who clean their homes- and other employers who insist 'these people' are all thieves. With in-depth reporting in the villages from where women make their way to upper-class homes in Delhi and Gurgaon, courtrooms where the worst allegations of abuse get an airing, and homes up and down the class ladder, Maid in India is an illuminating and sobering account of the complex and troubling relations between the help and those they serve.

"A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide (Barack Obama)," this New York Times bestselling memoir is the inspiration for the Netflix limited series, hailed by Rolling Stone as "a great one." At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit. "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work." -PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List

At a very young age, Olivia left her family and traditions in Mexico to live with her mother, Carmen, in one of Los Angeles's most exclusive and nearly all-white gated communities. Based on over twenty years of research, Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life. We watch as she struggles through adolescence, declares her independence and eventually goes off to college and becomes a successful professional. Much of her story is told in Olivia's voice and we hear of both her triumphs and her setbacks. Romero explores this story about belonging, identity, and resistance, illustrating Olivia's challenge to establish her sense of identity, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion in her life. Romero points to the hidden costs of paid domestic labor that are transferred to the families of private household workers and nannies, and shows how everyday routines are important in maintaining and assuring that various forms of privilege are passed on from one generation to another. She shows how mythologies of meritocracy, the land of opportunity, and the American dream remain firmly in place while simultaneously erasing injustices and the struggles of the working poor.

This one was quite literally “written in the flow” if I might say so, and as the book says! While it’s not quite as “fast paced” as the “in the flow” part makes it sound, it’s probably the first time I hammered out a book in a day alone – and the ONLY reason I could do that is because of the sheer “buzz” I was getting from writing it! Starts off with a few true conversations IIRC, and believe me, she meant every word! �� And before we go any further, and even before I put the "buy" button the page - first, and fittingly so, a TRIBUTE to this gorgeous lady who had me hooked from the MINUTE I met her that "fateful" night! TRIBUTE TO MADAM SUVI “This piece is a CLASSIC case of something I speak about so often in my other (non BDSM) related publications, which is “being in the flow”. It was written in a day, no less, no more, and for those that may think that’s something to scoff at, try pounding out 20,000 PLUS HEARTFELT words onto “paper” in a few sittings during a day, most of it uninterrupted, laptop literally shaking as I’m getting a forearm workout simply by writing this (or so it seems), punctuated by the occasional intense “real” workout and a quick meal in between all this (though to be honest the meal wasn’t even required). And no, it’s not about word counts to me. It’s about telling a story. A deeply personal, emotional story that matters to me, a story that by very virtue of how personal and moving it is to me should “drain” me of its own accord, and yet, it does nothing of the sort. The exact opposite as it were. Why do I say this? Well, one, because this is key to accomplishing anything you want in life. Any goal, no matter how seemingly distant, any peak no matter how high, NOTHING, bar none, can remain UNACCOMPLISHED, if you get in, and stay in this frame of mind. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a self-help piece … so again, why do I say this? Well, just so you understand that sheer passion makes itself felt, and I care not if it’s black and words being written on paper. When I read this I myself feel the sheer passion that has been infused throughout that this whole piece and I’m the one that wrote it. The lovely Miss V, who so kindly provided the inspiration for my last piece “Miss V Beauty Salon”, would know, perhaps, as clients stream in and out of her next door salon, the pitter patter of those lovely Chinese female feet inspiring me to “greater heights”. Again, those lovely Chinese female feet… Most importantly, and yet again, I feel none of the actual physical fatigue you’d normally associated at the “completion” of something this heartfelt and intense. It’s not “work”. It never was, much as cleaning Madam Suvi’s dishes isn’t just “work”!” All I feel is a burning desire and a sense of unfulfilled, unbridled joy at having got this piece “out there”. And this desire is coupled with a strong, or even stronger “push” at the back of my mind that says the “best is yet to come”. And come it will. And there are always newer peaks to be conquered, and … well … I’ll let that intentionally esoteric part speak for itself. This piece wouldn’t have become reality without Madam Suvi, who (at times knowingly and at times unknowingly) provided the inspiration behind it. On that note, it also bears mentioning that this entire tale sans a few hundred words towards the beginning has been written from HER perspective, and that’s how it should be if we’re talking “true” (or real-life) femdom. Thank you so much, Madam Suvi. It is indeed an honor.”
