Love as always, mum xxx - Mae West

'A CHILLING new memoir by the daughter of mass murderer Fred
West and his wife Rose describes the savage cruelty of her upbringing in
25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester' DAILY MAIL

'Mae, I mean this ... I'm not a good person and I let all you children down ...' Rose West, HM PRISON DURHAM


It has taken over 20 years for Mae West to find the perspective and
strength to tell her remarkable story: one of an abusive, violent
childhood, of her serial killer parents and how she has rebuilt her life
in the shadow of their terrible crimes.

Through her own
memories, research and the letters her mother wrote to her from prison,
Mae shares her emotionally powerful account of her life as a West. From a
toddler locked in the deathly basement to a teen fighting off the
sexual advances of her father, Mae's story is one of survival. It also
answers the questions: how do you come to terms with knowing your
childhood bedroom was a graveyard? How do you accept the fact your
parents sexually tortured, murdered and dismembered young women? How do
you become a mother yourself when you're haunted by the knowledge that
your own mother was a monster? Why were you spared and how do you escape
the nightmare?
