The House of My Mother

Non-fiction   Audiobook

I think mostly because the arrest happened in my county, I was very interested in the Ruby Franke child abuse case. It is appalling that a mother could do that to her children.  This book was written by her daughter, Shari.  First of all, she (or maybe a ghost writer?) is an excellent writer.  She tells her story.  It is a very sad story, but very well told.  She is respectful of her family, but speaks out against mommy vlogging and the damaging effects.  But her mother was abusive long before she started the vlog.  She is a classic narcissist and Jodie Hildebrandt is the devil incarnate.  I am so glad they are both behind bars and hope they both stay there for a long, long time.
