The Occidental Mission

During the first hundred years of Chinese immigration--from 1848 to 1943--San Francisco was home to a shockingly extensive underground slave trade in Asian women, who were exploited as prostitutes and indentured servants. In this gripping, necessary book, bestselling author Julia Flynn Siler shines a light on this little-known chapter in our history--and gives us a vivid portrait of the safe house to which enslaved women escaped. The Occidental Mission Home, situated on the edge of Chinatown, served as a gateway to freedom for thousands. Run by a courageous group of female Christian abolitionists, it survived earthquakes, fire, bubonic plague, and violent attacks. We meet Dolly Cameron, who ran the home from 1899 to 1934, and Tien Fuh Wu, who arrived at the house as a young child after her abuse as a household slave drew the attention of authorities. Wu would grow up to become Cameron's translator, deputy director, and steadfast friend. Siler shows how Dolly and her colleagues defied convention and even law--physically rescuing young girls from brothels, snatching them from their smugglers--and how they helped bring the exploiters to justice. Riveting and revelatory, The White Devil's Daughters is a timely, extraordinary account of oppression, resistance, and hope.

just ok
Scent: Formulated without Fragrance, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
These are ok but have to really work to get off makeup, plus they are an off white, pale yellow color that makes them look stained.

Better than name brand! Simple yet effective
Scent: Formulated without Fragrance, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
Better than name brand! I tried these because I had forgotten to restock my old brand when I went grocery shopping. They work very well! My makeup comes off easily and quickly. The size of the wipe is perfect, not too small. My husband also likes using them to refresh after a long day at work.

Wonderful Face Wipes
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I use Amazon's brand face cleaners every day.And they are wonderful! I also have rosacea , and these never bother it. I buy the lavender scent which is very soothing and smells wonderful. It is not overpowering, but just a light scent.

Best facial mist perfect in every way!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this! I tried it and took a chance and it’s literally the best face spray I’ve used. The Mr. is perfect, it makes you feel refreshed, it smells great. It doesn’t burn and it makes your complexion look Dewey and feels like it tightens your skin a little, but in the right way. It’s a nice sized bottle and the price point is perfect. I’ll probably never stop buying it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just for make up. It’s for anybody that wants their skin to be healthy and hydrated. Try it. You won’t regret it.
