A true story of a brave woman who rescued enslaved Chinese girls from their owners by taking them into The Occidental Mission Home for Girls in San Francisco.

What Donaldina Cameron did for these young girls is amazing.

Their stories are heartbreaking.

The men who tricked them into thinking they were going to arrive in America and marry a wealthy man so they could take care of their family back home were despicable.

THE PAPER DAUGHTERS OF CHINATOWN follows one main girl, Mei Lien, from her home in China to San Francisco. Many other girls were mentioned, but Mei Lien was the focus along with Donaldina's story.

This book brought to light the horrors of what these young girls had to endure, but it also brought to light how there are wonderful people who work to stop it.

You will fall in love with these girls along with Donaldina and empathize with their plight.

Ms. Moore's writing is pull-you-in, the story line is mesmerizing, and her research is impeccable.

Historical fiction fans as well as women's fiction fans will enjoy THE PAPER DAUGHTERS OF CHINATOWN. 5/5

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
