La casa de mi madre. La lucha de una hija por la libertad / The House of My Mother: A Daughter's Quest for Freedom
Description
Una familia aparentemente feliz de seis hermanos, con unos valores religiosos admirables, escondía el horror del maltrato físico y emocional. Ruby Franke, quien se postulaba como madre perfecta, era en realidad la personificación de una pesadilla: castigos desmesurados, abuso y un chantaje emocional espeluznante era lo que los hermanos Franke recibían si no saciaban la sed de likes y suscriptores de su madre.
Cuando Shari Franke, la hija mayor, consiguió escapar y denunciar el caso, logró plasmar su experiencia sobre papel en un relato adictivo y conmovedor. Esta es una historia de abuso familiar y trauma, pero también de superación y valentía, que ha cautivado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Heart-wrenchingly personal…dizzying.” —Rolling Stone
From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog—now the subject of a new Hulu docuseries—and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing.
Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined.
As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime.
Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.”
For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.Reseñas:
