Diana, Princess of Wales, came across in her life as a vulnerable human being who was able to reach out to others in genuine compassion because she understood their suffering and hurt. She spoke and acted from the heart, naturally and without affectations. The world was stunned by her untimely death, sensing that it had lost someone of immeasurable value, not just a caring individual but an example and an inspiration to others.
This book collects together some of the Princess's words on the themes of love and compassion and includes vignettes which portray her humour and spontaneity. She talks about her role as mother, as well as her thoughts on different aspects of her charity work, with the victims of land mines, with those dying of AIDS, with sick children, with lepers. It is an illustrated tribute to her compassion, a celebration of her uniqueness, and an inspiration to all of us who want to ensure that her influence lives on in our own lives.
