Neverovatna zivotna prica pustinjskog nomada. VARIS DIRIJE je pobegla od tegobnog zivota u africkoj pustinji kao mladja tinejdzerka, siromasna i nepismena, s jednom jedinom otrcanom maramom. Danas zivi u Njujorku, vrhunska je svetska manekenka i specijalni ambasador Ujedinjenih nacija; putuje svetom kao recit i strastven borac za ljudska prava. U ovoj znacajnoj i sadrzajnoj knjizi iz prve ruke nam prica o svojoj dramaticnoj i nadahnutoj odiseji. „Izvanredna hrabrost... najlepse nadahnuce za svakoga.“ Elton Dzon „Prica koja tece s kontinenta na kontinent, obuhvata svetove ljudskog iskustva i ljudskog bola... Varis Dirije je nekad bila zrtva, ali to nikada vise nece biti. Ona se jos bori, jos uvek se pomocu svoje lepote i hrabrosti, onako kako zna i ume, bori za pravdu.“ Sunday Express
