Moore. First published by Shadow Mountain Publishing in September 2020, the book exposes a dark chapter in American history: the late-19th-century human trafficking crisis in San Francisco's Chinatown. It explores how the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned most Chinese immigrants, driving criminal gangs (known as "tongs") to smuggle young women and girls into the U.S. using forged identity documents. Because they were listed as daughters of existing residents on these false papers, they became known as "paper daughters."
