Story5 out of 5 stars 6,815
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.

In awe and with gratitude

I am so impressed with Shari. As a human, as an author, and as a narrator. I want to thank her for taking the extra time to read this to us. It felt extra powerful to hear her voice. Thank you Shari. I’m so sorry you went through this and am so in awe of how you’re metabolizing it. Your siblings are lucky to have you as an example.

This extraordinary book presents scenarios of one family's therapy experience and explains what underlies each encounter. You will discover the general patterns that are common to all families - stress, polarization and escalation, scapegoating, triangulation, blaming, and the diffusion of identity - and you will gain a vivid understanding of the intriguing field of family therapy.

All parents should listen to this. When my kids are old enough, I plan to have them listen to it too.
