Publisher's summary

Attempted murder victim told the Brainerd Dispatch she believes her sixteen-year-old son saved her.

This is the news article detailing the event that would drastically change Tyler Zed's life and that of his family forever.

Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, Tyler and his two brothers filled their days with chaotic fun, from playing hockey to building forts to making their own home movies. The household was also full of addiction and abuse that ultimately led to their father attempting to murder their mother on Christmas Eve 2007.

Trailer Park Parable follows Tyler and his family before Christmas Eve 2007, the events leading to that night, and the years afterward. It trails the boys as they deal with varying degrees of PTSD and their own battles with addiction, before they eventually turned their creative coping mechanisms, like their YouTube channels, into million-subscriber successes.

From living in a trailer park to running a multi-million-dollar business, Trailer Park Parable highlights a true, American-dream story, countering a popular narrative that tells us you may as well not even try, the system is rigged against you.

You just have to love Tyler/Desmond

I love the bond of the 3 brothers and of Tyler to his wife and daughter. It is a story of triumph. But the bond of love is beautiful.

Is it over already?

This book is wonderful and I didn't want to stop listening. I usually don't listen to autobiographies, but this one is striking. Humans are amazingly resilient and I am grateful I got to hear this story at this part of my life. Thank you for your service, and thank you for this book.

Listened to the audio book in one sitting.

Extremely well written. I subscribe to Zeducation YouTube Channel. I really enjoyed the book. I couldn’t stop listening until the book was finished. I’m very impressed that in today’s generation of the victim, here is a young man who takes full responsibility for all his actions, forgives others and uses his adversity to give himself purpose for good.

Well…it is not the “feel good” book of the year. However, it tells an important story, and it tells it well. Well worth the listen.
