About the Author
Caroline Roberts was born in Gloucester in 1955, and raised in the Forest of Dean where she still lives with her husband and four children. She is a Reiki healer and works as a Project Worker for a for Substance Misuse Service. She started writing as therapy... it worked for her.
When Caroline Roberts accepted a job at 25 Cromwell Street, the infamous address of Fred and Rose West, she was only 16. Realizing that there was something very malevolent about the couple, she left their employment soon after, glad to be rid of them. The story should have ended there, but a month, later she was abducted by the Wests and suffered violent sexual abuse at their hands before being told that she would be killed and buried. Through a combination of luck and quick thinking, depite the trauma of what had happened, Caroline managed to escape to freedom. This is her story of those fateful days and the appalling aftermath.
Survival Out Of A Nightmare
By A Customer on 3 Mar. 2004
I purchased this book after seeing Caroline being interviewed on the "This Morning" programme with Fern and Philip. The book starts with introduction to her childhood and the suffering she endured when her parents spilt up, her father rejected her, her stepfather rejected her as well as her stepbrothers who constantly bullied and verbally abused her. During her childhood she was sexually abused twice (by strangers) and by the time she was a t
eenager she sent herself on a destructive path; sleeping around and taking drugs. The book then goes on to describe the events leading up to the terrible night she first laid eyes on Fred and Rose West, how they abducted, tortured and both abused her in very strong sordid details which really shocked the hell out of me!! She is the one who got away and lived to tell the tale. A true story of extreme courage, bravery and survival. Caroline is an inspiration to us all! I read her book within two days as you just can't put it down and i recommend it to anyone looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. Be warned that the content is very graphic and may shock and upset.

All I can say is that this story is so traumatic and disgusting that i was unable to put it down. The pictures inside of Fred and Rose West turned my stomache after i had read the horrific ordeal they put these girls and children through. A gripping read that I would recommend to anyone as a story and also an eyeopener to the world that is really out there.
I could not put this book down

I read this in two evenings. A truly inspiring story of someone who seems to have had just about every tragedy there is thrown at her during her life. For someone who has been through so much heartbreak in such a relatively short space of time and come through the other side as a stronger person is amazing. I would highly recommend this book. A real inspiration.
