The Papers Daughters of Chinatown Based on a true story Written by: Heather B. Moore Heather B. Moore craftfully wrote the story of the paper daughters of Chinatown. She shares the real life story of Donaldina Cameron in a way that I wanted to keep reading until I finished.

I would recommend this story to anyone who can handle reading the difficult stories present within. The book is meaningful and shares an importance piece of history.

Love, Michael

Love, Michael A story of regrets an d second chances Written by: Gina A. Jones This is a well-written story that covers the difficult topics of divorce and abuse along with reconciliation and forgiveness.

Overall, I would not listen to this book again. With language and graphic scenes it was a bit much for my perspective. For one who doesn't mind those, this would be a great listen.
