samjamaa Posted January 19, 2012 three months ago while I was browsing at the local bookstore, I picked up Desert Flower.the life story of somaliain Model Waris Dirie who grew up as a nomad in Somalia, ran way from home in age of 14. With no english language skill, no formal education and not much of external support, and then became a model & UN Ambassador. After a long time reading, I can say the book deserve to read because it is well writtene and story is told in simple way the only comment in book is giving imagination that all somali men are rapists based on the several rape attempts Waris had from age 5 till she ran way in age 14 which is wrong. .

Aaliyyah Posted March 10, 2012 I dont know why are you guys calling it garbage..shes sharing her personal story, and shes entitled. On top of that it can educate the public about certain practices like FGM. something as somalis we should put complete stop! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted March 10, 2012 I found most of it hard to believe, esp her early life in Somalia, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
