What to expect
Born in Spain and raised by a struggling single mother, Lisa Lovatt-Smith became an editor at British Vogue at nineteen, the youngest in Cond├® Nast history. She helped launch Spanish Vogue and partied across Europe with celebrities, fashion designers, photographers, and supermodels.
By her thirties Lisa has her dream career and a glamorous life in Paris, but when her adopted daughter, Sabrina, is expelled from school, Lisa takes her to volunteer in a Ghanaian orphanage in the hope of getting her back on track. What she discovers there changes both their lives for good.
Appalled by the deplorable conditions she finds, Lisa moves to Ghana permanently and founds OAfrica, dedicating her personal resources to reuniting hundreds of Ghanaian children with their families and spearheading a drive to shut down corrupt orphanages. On this unforgettable journey, Lisa confronts death threats, malaria, arson, and heartbreaking poverty; she also discovers truly inspiring children trapped in limbo by a moneymaking scheme bigger than she ever imagined.
Who Knows Tomorrow is the engaging, frank, and often surprisingly funny story of one amazing woman who has traveled the globe in search of meaningful connection. Although to Lisa her story will always be about the children, it's also a touching celebration of a woman who is talented, generous, and unfailingly courageous.
Critics Review
“In the midst of a career in high fashion, journalist and author Lovatt-Smith stepped off her gilded career path to pursue a
passion. This inspiring memoir explores her transformation from the
youngest editor at British Vogue into an activist focused on the
establishment of children’s aid organizations in Ghana. When her
daughter’s emotional problems became overwhelming, a counselor suggested
that volunteering might help…Lovatt-Smith’s immensely readable narrative explores her personal
metamorphosis and her positive impact on the children of Ghana.”
“When a Vogue editor trades designer photo
shoots for community development, the steep learning curve makes rich material
for this memoir.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
