Nieman Storyboard interviews author and terrorism expert Jessica Stern, whose memoir dealt unblinkingly with the unsolved rape-at-gunpoint that she and a sister experienced when they were teenagers: "In order to write that book, I had to be in a kind of trance to find feelings that I’m normally too embarrassed to feel, or to, certainly to articulate … I think some of those feelings are the sequelae of violence. I decided it was important to put them out there."
