From the deserts of Somalia to the world of high fashion, she battles against oppression and emerges a real champion. She is the most beautiful inspiration to anyone.\" -Elton JohnWaris 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.Poignant and powerfully told, Desert Flower is Waris's extraordinary story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Dirie, Waris. | Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks | Pages: 242 | Publication Date: 1999 | Edition: Illustrated | Binding: Paperback | MSRP: 10.99 | ISBN13: 9780688172374 | ISBN: 0688172377 | Other ISBN: 9780061952272 | Other ISBN Binding: print | Language: en | Quality Rating: 1 | \"Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52164582703392,"sku":"NEW0688172377","price":12.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ExrDuR8uL.jpg?v=1786223769","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/desert-flower-the-extraordinary-journey-of-a-desert-nomad-0688172377","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
