Human Life
Little is known about Pam's human life in this book series until the seventh novel, All Together Dead. In this novel, Pam tells Sookie that she had lived in London with her parents during the Victorian era, and she had a crush on her best friend's cousin. As a human, Pam was wild for her times and was romantic, and bold. Her parents did not approve of the relationship because they did not consider him as equal in social class. One night she slipped out of her house to meet her friend's cousin. She met Eric on her way back home. He drained her, put her in her bed and after her funeral he dug her up. She was 19 when Eric changed her. She left London and moved with him to north of England and eventually left England for the continent. After she was turned, she and Eric often had sex; she later discovered she preferred women. She saw her family only once from a distance about ten years after she became undead. Pam reveals to Sookie that she has always loved being who she is, though it took Pam some time to understand her true nature.
Her human history was changed quite a bit in the 5th season of the television series, making her a Madame in a Barbary Coast (San Francisco) brothel of the mid-1800s. However a Reference to her life and family in England were made in the online miniseries, Jessica's Vlog in the season 5 finale episode.
