FRED WEST 'S DAUGHTER TELLS HER HARROWING STORY OF SURVIVALAnne Marie West is Fred West's eldest daughter and the step-daughter of Rose West who was found guilty on ten counts of murder on 22nd November 1995.
Her story almost defies belief: it is truly shocking. Her mother's body was found in a field in Much Marcle on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border. The remains of one sister, Charmaine, was found under the extension in Midland Road and another, Heather, under the patio of 25 Cromwell Street.
At the age of eight, Anne was raped by her father, and made pregnant by him at the age of fifteen. Her childhood was a catalogue of horror at the hands of an ostensibly house-proud, home-loving couple, who turned out to be mass murderers.
And yet Anne's story is a story of courage and hope, of a survivor's instincts against the cruellest odds. She tells of how she protected her brothers and sisters from the worst excesses of Fred and Rose's depravity; how she withstood their appalling sexual appetites and perverse demands; how she stayed alive when others were murdered; how she outwitted Fred and Rose and escaped to rebuild her shattered life with a long-standing boyfriend whom she met at school and who stood by her. His story, his love, what he saw in Anne that was good and strong and untouched also forms part of this remarkable book.
