Fabulous, amazing book. Journal like style makes everything so real. Any easy read but still one can learn so much from what she shares.
Eye-opening, honest read August 16, 2007

This book will teach you a lot about refugees and their struggles as seen through the eyes of someone who isn't a refugee herself. I cried several times reading this. This does read like Angelina's personal journal, so you're not going to find stellar prose, but you'll find her honest account of her travels. It is sad, yet inspirational. 5 STARS!!!!
Glad I read it... July 8, 2007

In the beginning Angelina states that she's not a writer... and she's not, but everything she writes is very sincere and heartfelt. It was also neat to see her evolve as a person and come into motherhood. Also her personal writing style gradually becomes more confident, especially in her final mission in the book. I hope to read more notes from her soon.

Although I have always liked Angelina as an actress and knew that she was involved with UN, I never knew how deep her dedication ran until now. I recieved this book from a friend, who like myself is also dedicated to humanitarian work. I was looking for more information on the UN and UNHCR and that is exactly what I have found in this book. I must say that I am very surprised and extatic to find that this is not just a detailed personal account of her experience in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador, but she also gives significant information on the organizations. Organizations that I would like to research more and work with in the future.
Also, she mentions the book "First They Killed My Father" by Luong Ung -another great soulfull, insiteful book for anyone (I wish everyone) who is interested in learning about amazing people who have survived (and not survived) these horrific circumstances.
I am 24, and I don't have any children yet, but I cannot wait to pass these books onto them and teach them about the world. -the ENTIRE world.
highly recommended.
