The excerpt I read in Vogue was quite fascinating, so check out the book<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alek-Sudanese-Refugee-International-Supermodel\/dp\/0061243310\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1\/103-9667944-8636621?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1188966745&amp;sr=8-1\"> here<\/a>.

Previous works include Waris Dirie&#8217;s book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Desert-Flower-Extraordinary-Journey-Nomad\/dp\/0688172377\">Desert Flower<\/a>, and Irina Panteava&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Siberian-Dream-Irina-Pantaeva\/dp\/0380975548\/ref=sr_1_1\/103-9667944-8636621?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1188966955&amp;sr=1-1\">Siberian Dream<\/a>.
