Recensione:
Lisa's adventures in West Africa are a powerful testimony to what we could all achieve if we truly become change makers. The work she does is so inspiring to me, and her book tells a fascinating story of struggle over adversity few of us could imagine.”
- Rachel Roy, Fashion Designer
Lisa's journey, her crossing worlds, made me realize that saving lives is just there within a hand's reach. We live in a world of possibilities and we each choose our own path. A story that deserves to be read.”
- Margarita Missoni, Fashion Designer
Worlds and motives collide inconveniently, touchingly, and passionately... In what reads like an emotional thriller, hard won victories break through the clay and lives are forever transformed.”
- Nana Brew-Hammond, Journalist and Author of Powder Necklace
Everybody ought once in her life to change it radically in order to be useful on earth. Lisa did it totally. The amazing thing is that we admire her but she never makes us feel guilty. I have two words for her: Joy and Generosity. She is an honour to Humanity.”
- Ines de la Fressange, French Style Icon, Designer and Author
