I bought this on ebay and read it the same night i received it. It is beautifully written by Ms. Jolie and refreshing to read. I am more interested in her work as an actress and her work with the United Nations than i am in the more tabloid speculations on her personal life with Mr. Pitt. This is great for students as well as teens or adults who want to get a look at is going on with the refugees in these other countries. The book documents her awakening to the suffering of others and her beginning as a humanitarian activist. It has a few photo in full color inserted showcasing some of the people she visited. I agree with Ms. Jolie that these people are awe-inspiring where they continue not only to survive but try to enjoy life as much as possible under trying circumstances. Very enlightening and highly recommend.Read full review
This book was eye-opening and inspiring. I have to say that I was a Jennifer Aniston fan all the way (and still am as far as the whole incident is concerned) and wanted to have nothing to do with Ms. Jolie. However, the more I read about her, the more I wanted to know what she was doing for other countries. This book is completely different from all the hype you'll get in magazines or on celebrity channels. This book is motivating. She could possibly be the next Bono. It takes a great look at different countries and helps you understand what is being done to relieve people from suffering.
It’s nice to see thru her eyes on things !

I loved this book! I love her and now I love her even more. Everyone should read this book. We have no idea what's going on over there, this really sheds light on how horrible parts of the world are and really appreciates what you have here. A must read ..mandatory for everyone. I can't say enough great things about it!! It will change your thinking.
A simple, heartfelt account of Jolie's early work for UNHCR. It is all about the refugees and not about her. You cannot help but be moved by her journal entries.
