In January of 2019, I was trapped in a hotel room in the DusitD2 in Nairobi for 17 long hours while Al-Shabaab terrorists attacked the property. I was completely alone, and certain I was going to die. However, thanks to the incomprehensibly brave men who fought to get us out, hundreds of us were extracted to safety. After the attack, though, PTSD made me so miserable that I started to wish I had died after all. This book is the in-depth retelling of the attack, combined with my personal journal entries about PTSD afterward. It's a true story about trauma.

Terrorist Attack Girl is the true story of a US citizen's survival from a 2019 terrorist attack in Kenya. It is not a story about the soldiers who led the rescue mission. Rather, this is an emotional journey of survival, that weaves two stories together- Chapin’s flashbacks of 17 hours hiding in her hotel room when terrorists seized the DusitD2, and her personal journal entries from when she struggled with PTSD and worked to piece her life back together.
There is no sugar coating in this book, but that is what makes it great. Incredibly well written, Chapin pulls her readers in, as she depicts the raw and dirty details of survival.
If you have gone through a difficult time or are battling PTSD, this story may help you feel less alone. You may realize that although the process toward healing is both painful and challenging, your trauma does not have to define you. If you have not experienced trauma, this book may teach you empathy and help you better understand those who are struggling.
In any case, I highly recommend this book and encourage readers to experience Meyli's memoir. Thank you, Meyli Chapin, for sharing your story!
