Three years ago, award-winning actress Angelina Jolie took on a radically different role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Here are her memoirs from her journeys to Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Ecuador, where she lived and worked and gave her heart to those who suffer the world's most shattering violence and victimization. Here are her revelations of joy and warmth amid utter destitution, compelling snapshots of courageous and inspiring people for whom survival is their daily work and candid notes from a unique pilgrimage that completely changed the actress's worldview - and the world within herself.

This book gives a moving and heartfelt description of the conditions and back stories of the many refugees Angie comes across during her travels. Her sympathy for these people is powerfully conveyed to the reader, and it gives you an insight into the real woman. however the format is literally note like and leaves you with the feeling that a huge chunk is missing. Not something you can read all at once, but well worth the effort for fans of the lady and those with a political conscience.
