Description
Jessica Stern's memoir Denial is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of trauma, denial, and recovery. In 1973, at just 15 years old, Stern was one of two girls raped in an unlocked house in Massachusetts. The assault went unreported and unpunished, leaving its impact on her life for decades to come. For over thirty years, Stern struggled to come to terms with what happened that night. She channelled her emotions into a successful career as a terrorism expert, but this success was built on her own symptoms of trauma. It wasn't until a dedicated police lieutenant reopened the case that Stern began to confront the truth about her past and her family. This candid and courageous memoir is a powerful exploration of one woman's journey towards healing and recovery.
