Description

Birhan Woldu's life story is one of incredible resilience and hope. Her image, broadcast at the end of Live Aid, became a symbol of the devastating famine in Africa, but few knew her true story. Journalist Oliver Harvey tells her life story, from her childhood in Ethiopia to her journey to Live Aid and beyond. Born into a world of famine and war, Birhan's father made an epic journey to ensure his daughters' survival, carrying them on his shoulders over 900 km. This is a story of triumph over extreme adversity, of struggle and of hope. Oliver Harvey's book is a powerful tribute to Birhan's life and a reminder of the ongoing crisis in East Africa. New Holland is donating proceeds from this book to Oxfam's DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal, highlighting the book's relevance and importance in today's world.
