A Memoir of Terror: Author's horrific story

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Author Jessica Stern is one of the world's foremost experts on the issue of terror and post traumatic stress disorder.

Stern has traveled the world, interviewing terrorists and world leaders, learning what makes these individuals tick. Through it all, never feeling fear, never looking back.

However, it is her own trauma -- her own childhood -- that brought her to a place where she has been forced to face fear head on.

In her new book, "Denial: A Memoir of Terror," Stern faces the demons from within by examining those from the outside.
