| Description: | Fashion model, UN ambassador and courageous spirit, Waris Dirie is a remarkable woman. Born into a traditional family of tribal desert nomads in Somalia, she told her story - enduring female circumcision at five years old; runing away at twelve through the desert in order to escape an arranged marriage; being discovered by Terence Donovan as she worked as a cleaner in London; and becoming a top fashion model - in her book, the worldwide bestseller, Desert Flower. Desert Dawn is the story of her return and a testimony to the stubborn fact that you can love something dearly and yet not love all that it represents. Desert Dawn is about coming home. |
| Key Points: | "Remarkable courage... the most beautiful inspiration to anyone" Elton John |
