Desert Flower by Waris Dirie, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Waris Dirie ran away from her oppressive life in the African desert when she was barely in her teens, illiterate and impoverished, with nothing to her name but a tattered shawl. She traveled alone across the dangerous Somali desert to Mogadishu—the first leg of a remarkable journey that would take her to London, where she worked as a house servant; then to nearly every corner of the globe as an internationally renowned fashion model; and ultimately to New York City, where she became a human rights ambassador for the U. N. Desert Flower is her extraordinary story. | Desert Flower by Waris Dirie, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
