About the Author
Sarah Stillman recently graduated summa cum laude from Yale with an M.A. and B.A. in Anthropology. Now a Marshall Scholar at Oxford, she is currently writing her PhD thesis on the media phenomenon that pundits have acerbically called the "Missing Pretty White Girl Syndrome"--exploring our endless appetites for young women like JonBenet Ramsey, Natalee Holloway, and Elizabeth Smart. Active in the international global justice movement, she has worked with migrant factory laborers in southern China, returned refugees in rural Guatemala, and HIV/AIDS patients in Bangkok, Thailand. Sarah's first book, Soul Searching: A Girl's Guide to Finding Herself, has sold over 30,000 copies in five languages. She hopes to pursue a career in human rights journalism.
