The Paper Daughters of Chinatown

This gripping audiobook tells the true story of Donaldina Cameron and a group of courageous women who worked tirelessly to aid Chinese-American women facing discrimination and enslavement in late 19th-century California. Arriving at the Occidental Mission Home for Girls in 1895, Donaldina quickly realizes her mission extends beyond teaching sewing, as she confronts the grim realities of human trafficking orchestrated by a powerful criminal organization. Through her relentless efforts, supported by local Chinese interpreters and police, she seeks to dismantle the horrific slave and prostitution trade that entraps vulnerable women like Mei Lien, who dreams of a better life but finds herself caught in a nightmare.
