520    "A revelatory history of the trafficking of young Asian 
       girls that flourished in San Francisco during the first 
       century of Chinese immigration (1848-1943) and the "safe 
       house" on the edge of Chinatown that became a refuge for 
       those seeking their freedom. From 1874, a house on the 
       edge of San Francisco's Chinatown served as a gateway to 
       freedom for thousands of enslaved and vulnerable young 
       Chinese women and girls. Known as the Occidental Mission 
       Home, it survived earthquakes, fire, bubonic plague, and 
       violence directed against its occupants and supporters--a 
       courageous group of female abolitionists who fought the 
       slave trade in Chinese women. With compassion and an 
       investigative historian's sharp eyes, Siler tells the 
       story of both the abolitionists, who challenged the 
       corrosive, anti-Chinese prejudices of the time, and the 
       young women who dared to flee their fate. She relates how 
       the women who ran the house defied contemporary convention,
       even occasionally broke the law, by physically rescuing 
       children from the brothels where they worked, or snatching
       them off the ships smuggling them in, and helped bring the
       exploiters to justice. She has also uncovered the stories 
       of many of the girls and young women who came to the 
       Mission and the lives they later led, sometimes becoming 
       part of the home's staff themselves. A remarkable story of
       an overlooked part of our history, told with sympathy and 
       vigor"--|cProvided by publisher.
