Her departure from the show gave Pam time to reflect, not only on almost 26 years playing a role that she loved, but also on her whole life. Pam's mother died when she was a baby, leaving her with a father whose life didn't really have space for a child. What followed was an itinerant childhood, with various stepmothers and foster families, before an advertisement in The Lady took year-old Pamela to the farm in Devon that was to become her true home, with the 'aunts' who became her surrogate parents.

Time on the farm at Dartmoor, where she discovered her love of animals, alternated with life at The Warren boarding school in West Sussex, where she discovered her passion for acting. In , Pam took a place at drama school and settled in London working on stage and television throughout the sixties and seventies, before her first appearance on EastEnders in Away from her fascinating and unique childhood, Pam also recalls her involvement in the women's movement of the s, her lifelong love of animals and the worries about her weight that have dogged her since her teenage years.

Her incredibly warm memoir reveals the woman behind the popular EastEnders' character, a woman who, apart perhaps from her earrings, couldn't be more different from Pat.
