Secrets are meant to be kept, some you ought never to tell and, others ... you should take to your grave.
From the nightlife of Singapore to the rain-drenched jungles of Borneo, to the world of a rich and ambitious rock star, The White Amah is the story of a dark secret and the consequences when a woman’s past comes back to threaten the present.
When 17 years old Crystal is offered a place with the White Diamonds dancing troupe which tours South-East Asia—she hopes it will lead to Hollywood. She doesn’t expect to be on the run from the Singaporean police. But the route to fame doesn’t contain a single road sign, traffic signal or directional marker and there are many, many pathways. Some lead to the glitz and glamour of stardom, some just peter out and others to the tawdry world of strippers and call girls—and Crystal has always made bad choices. People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become and, when karma comes back to bite a rock star … it really sinks in its teeth.
