Based on her own memories and her mother’s prison letters, May West tells her story of growing up in the «house of horrors». What is it like when your childhood bedroom in the basement is a real graveyard? How to accept the fact that your parents are brutally killing people? That your mom is a monster and your father is sexually abusing you? And why were you, unlike your beloved older sister, lucky enough to escape? The incredible and tragic story of May West is a story of survival and fighting trauma that lasts a lifetime.

«Reading the book makes you just want to burst into that basement, hug that girl, and tell her that from this moment everything will be okay. On every page, there is a desire to save the children from that terrible nightmare they lived in every single day. A horrible but emotional story of absolute suffering...» — Vocal
