Publisher Description

“Through Charla I have learned that the will to survive is a powerful force and that human courage knows no bounds.” —NBC’s Meredith Vieira



Viciously attacked by a chimpanzee in 2009, Charla Nash was left so severely disfigured that she no longer had eyes to see the world, hands to feel it or even a face to show it.  By her own doctors’ accounts, she never should have survived her injuries.



Charla’s story is one of incredible strength, fierce determination and cutting-edge medicine.  NBC News and Meredith Vieira have been covering the story since the life-altering attack, documenting Charla’s unfaltering spirit and the remarkable surgeries that not only kept her alive, but gave her a new face and, ultimately, restored her very humanity.  


Featuring candid and exclusive interviews with Charla, her family, her doctors and the chimpanzee’s owner, The Woman Who Lost Her Face is an intimate look at Charla’s life before and after the attack.  This in-depth account takes you inside the operating rooms and hospitals where medical history was made and

The Woman Who Lost Her Face: How Charla Nash Survived the World's Most Infamous Chimpanzee Attack

3 stars & 3/10 hearts. This was a very interesting read. I did not find it bothering, though I am a sensitive reader; but some of the images did kind of bother me and I didn’t like looking at them. I was impressed by how well written it is. It’s not too descriptive/graphic (in my opinion; I’m not bothered by mentions of blood & wounds). I admire Charla for her perseverance & I hope she is doing better now than she was when this book was written.

A Favourite Quote: “I got to know her family—brothers, Mike and Steve, and daughter, Briana—who stayed always close by her side. It was their love that carried her through the darkest days.”

What stood out to me was Charla’s mental strength and the following quote.... Backstory: Charla is discussing Travis (the c

Charla Nash in 'Disbelief' Over Death of Sandra Herold, Owner of The Chimp Who Mauled Her

May 26, 2010 — -- Charla Nash, the woman whose face was mauled off by the chimp owned by Sandra Herold, is in "disbelief" that Herold has died.

Nash's twin brother Michael Nash said in a statement, "I informed Charla that Sandra had died. Her first reaction was disbelief. 'What!' she said. I repeated the news and she was speechless for a few moments."

"Charla made a brief statement stating that Sandra was a troubled woman and maybe she has some peace now," her brother's statement said. "The Nash family expressed their condolences to Sandra's family and support their privacy during this time of loss of a beloved family member."

Herold, who was 72, died from a ruptured aortic aneurysm late Monday, according to a statement released by her lawyer Robert Golger. She was the owner of Travis the chimp, who went on a violent rampage in February 2009, ripping the face and hands off Nash.

"Ms. Herold had suffered a se
