Description
No. 1 bestseller according to The New York Times.
A TV series was made based on the book on Hulu.
Many viewers on YouTube watched the seemingly perfect mother of six, Ruby Franke, without knowing the real life behind the scenes.
The “8 Passengers” vlog looked like the embodiment of a dream of an ideal American family. But in the Franke home, the children didn’t know what magical childhood was. As Ruby’s popularity grew, her parenting methods became increasingly harsh and authoritarian, turning motherhood into a form of dictatorship.
The turning point came when one of the sons ran away looking for food. Soon the house was surrounded by police and paramedics.
In her memoirs, 22-year-old Shari Franke exposes the influence of media culture and shares the story of how she survived under the oppression of a tyrannical mother. It’s an inspiring account of how you can find freedom and keep yourself—even after suffering.
