Suwen faces molestation and betrayal, which drives her to paint a controversial picture, and to leave Singapore for the small Malaysian town where her dream of becoming an artist first took root.

Nica defies her father in pursuing art rather than medicine. In her quest to be her own person, she chooses to live with her companion, and expresses herself through her paintings and sketches.

Janice seeks a destiny rooted in Singpaore, and in doing so, rejects her father's firmly held beliefs and values. She leaves home to marry a Malay journalist, breaking away from her father's influence.

Through family histories, the novel weaves a rich tapestry which celebrates the multi-ethnicity of Singapore and the socio-political milieu of her early immigrants.
