Review of Mothers, Migrants and Maids of Honor

Haunting stories told by domestic workers who face many challenges to their jobs and their lives.
The piece opens with the story of nannies who struggle to balance the affection given to their charges and duties to their own families.
Narration is presented in a slow, deliberate pace.
The piece starts off a bit rough but settles nicely as it finds its pitch.
It's nice to hear the variety of voices offered.
The second half deals more with efforts to organize and obtain more rights.
