Jessica was an aid worker in Somalia when her and a coworker were carjacked and kidnapped. They spent the next three months outside, in the desert, with volatile, armed men. How did she keep her self sane in such a high stress, unpredictable situation? How did she escape and how did she treat and manage her post traumatic stress?
