Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I saw Alek on the Today show recently. I purchased the book and finished it in a couple of days. What a life she has lived, growing up in Sudan, as a refugee, and now supermodel. The values her parents taught the family shine through the book as does the belief in family, and tradition. The down side is the incredible killings and war torn country.

Alek Wek has been the face of ad campaigns for companies ranging from Coach to Michael Kors to Nars and has worked the runways on behalf of designers such as Diane von Furstenberg and Christian Dior. Yet her defining moments extend beyond the runways of New York, Milan, Paris, and London.
Born to a middle-class family in the Sudan, Wek found her life suddenly inverted when civil war broke out among outlaw militias, the Muslim-dominated government, and southern rebels. The conflict not only killed two million people, it created an entire community of refugees, including Wek's family—many of whom fled to London. Here is Wek's incredible, daring story of rising from refugee to international supermodel.
