Summary

This is the heartbreaking story of the murder of 16-year-old Bristol schoolgirl Becky Watts, a personal and heartfelt account of a crime that shocked the nation in a unique way and tore a family in two.

A vulnerable and shy girl, Becky Watts was brutally murdered and dismembered by her own stepbrother on 19 February 2015. As her father, Darren, discovered the horrific details of what happened to his darling girl, his world fell apart.

Writing about his darkest hours and unbearable pain, Darren uncovers what Becky's relationship with her stepbrother, Nathan, a child he had raised as his own son, was really like. He recalls the devastation of discovering the truth about the depravity with which Becky was torn from him in the safety of her own home. And he recounts the torment of the legal battle to see his stepson sentenced to life behind bars.

But at its heart, Becky is a poignant personal story, a chance for Darren to pay tribute to his darling daughter, to celebrate her life and take back control of how she is remembered.

Darren recalls with enduring love the daughter he fought so hard to get custody of after she was taken into foster care as an infant, the happy child who completed his life, and the innocent schoolgirl who brought joy and happiness to all her knew her. Both heartfelt and haunting, searingly honest and unflinching, this is the ultimate story of a family tragedy.

Heartbreaking

This is a heartbreaking story but we’ll worth a listen, what this family went through is unimaginable and unthinkable. It has all the ups and downs of the nightmare they went through, well told and we’ll detailed.

Absolutely heartbreaking

What an amazing story of the life of Darren Becky and their family.

I was interested in getting this audio book because my sister lived in st george just a few minutes walk from Becky and her family and I was so sad to find out what happened to this beautiful girl when the story became headline news.

I broke down many times reading this as I too have had the love of my life. my husband taken from me in the most brutal way possible and I can relate to the agony of having someone taken so tragically from you without warning.

I really wish I could speak directly to Darren and say how wonderful I think he is and how much respect I have for him , I plan to lay flowers for beautiful kind Becky when I next go to St George .

love never dies and one day you will be with your Becky again Darren .

all my love
aimee

Heartbreaking

What a heartbreaking account of the brutal killing of such a lovely girl. Her father's account gave such a heartfelt insight into the pain of losing his only daughter by his killer stepson. Such raw emotion. My heart goes out to him.
