- The True Story of the Church's Rescue of Brothel Slaves in Old Francisco

In the late 1800s thousands of Chinese women sailed to America's West Coast. Many of them were enslaved as soon as they stepped off the freighters and were forced into prostitution -- the "green mansion."American prejudice against the immigrant Chinese was ugly and strong, and many of these girls lost hope. Many of them died. But a few of them began to whisper about the "Jesus women." The Jesus women were rescuing and freeing the Chinese slaves, and if the girls could just get word to them... This book is a true story about the courageous Christians who risked everything to help free San Francisco's brothel slaves.
