Rachel West (née Patterson) was born in 1957. She was only 5 when her mother, Nancy, was found hanged in the attic of their home. Rachel was later sent to a boarding school by her stepfather, Daniel. She lived her life fearing that she would end up like her mother when Nancy committed suicide. In adulthood, Rachel had a daughter named Liza.

In 2008, Rachel learned the truth about her mother's death and was able to finally talk about Nancy with Liza.
