World-famous fashion model Waris Deary tells the true story of his life. At the age of four she was raped, at the age of five she was circumcised, which crippled her for life, and at the age of thirteen she ran away from home. She writes: “It was too late to retreat. Since I can’t go back, that means I can only lose in one direction – forward.” This is how a nomadic girl from the Somali desert became a supermodel and a special UN ambassador.
