Reflections on Jessica Stern's Denial: A Memoir of Terror "Denial: A Memoir of Terror," by Jessica Stern (Ecco, 2010) conveys Stern's dissociation, and healing in her dawning realization of intolerable truths: sexual abuse by her grandfather, police refusal to believe that a stranger had raped her, and her compulsion to interview terrorists. She tells how weekly raping turns boys in madrasas into terrorists. She makes peace with her emotionally absent father, a Holocaust-survivor.
