Soname, the native Tibetan and author of the bestselling biography "Child of Tibet" (Droemer/Knaur) was born in the Tibetan countryside and was of noble descent. Because of the Chinese occupation of Lhasa she was separated from her parents and forced to endure a childhood in servitude. She had no chance to enjoy the privileges of education, freedom and family life.

At the age of sixteen she fled with a group of monks across the Himalayas - a difficult and dangerous journey that thousands of Tibetans endure each year in order to enjoy basic human rights. She finally arrived in Dharamsala, Northern India, where HH Dalai Lama has his home in exile. After six years she travelled to England (via France) where she has lived ever since.
