Six women live in the same gated community. Three are women of means. Three serve them. This poignant tale crosses racial, socio-economic, & moral barricades.Our first trio- Edna, Amira, & Noof- are well-off & mostly utilize their time fretting over their families & their help. Maria, Lillie, & Maya run these households as maids & nannies.Edna is the neutral party. Currently without `help', her main concern is her husband's fidelity. Noof fears the same, but us kind to her nanny/maid Maria & tries to help her. Amira on the other hand has a nasty temper with her aide, Maya. Maya is treated more like a slave than hired help. Lillie floats from home to home while supplementing her income in more shady lines of work.All 6 have issues. The wealthy fret over keeping up appearances while the help desire to send money home to their own families. When disaster hits within the tight-knit walls of the community, there's a ripple that affects all six- with devastating results. Join in the story to laugh & cry with these unique ladies!Fabulous from start to finish, there isn't a thing that I didn't love about `The Dohmestics'. Each of the women is vastly extraordinary yet entirely believable. From a plot standpoint, it is fresh & original. I want to stand up & cheer that we finally have a book for women that doesn't involve impossible romantic situations or shopping addictions! This is a book about women that you'll want to recommend to your friends. I sure did.It is absolutely clean &any; risky scenes are more implied than described. Its proof that a book can be written that will appeal to a majority of women of all ages. An absolute `must read' 5 star novel, it'll be perfect for summertime reading and/or book clubs. I'm confident that you'll love it as I did.I received 1 eBook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
