The subtitle is : "From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel" and that is exactly what this book is about. In the 1980's when Alek was nine, she and her family became a party of the tragedy that was South Sudan. Unlike some of the other Dinka families, her parents were educated and monogamous. Some of her older siblings were already living abroad. Still when the war started, they were forced to leave the life they had established in the town of Wau until 1 by 1, they were able to follow those siblings out of Sudan. Much of her story is tragic but with a little luck and a lot of grit, she has built a successful place in the fashion world. Her story makes clear she is not just a pretty face.
