Authors' Note:
''Desert Flower'' is a true story about the life of Waris Dirie, and all the events described in the book actually happened and were written based on Waris's memories. Although all the people described in ''Desert Flower'' are real, we have given them fictitious names to protect their privacy.
As a poor, barely literate teenage girl with only a tattered shawl as her only possession, Waris Dirie fled a depressing life in the African desert.
She now lives in New York, working as an internationally renowned supermodel. She also travels the world as a UN Special Envoy, an eloquent and passionate advocate for human rights.
Elton John:
''Waris's story is a story of true courage. On her difficult journey from the deserts of Somalia to the pinnacle of high fashion, she fights against oppression and triumphs. She is the most beautiful inspiration to us all.''
