Why read it?
2 authors picked The House of My Mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My Mother's House was one of the best books I've ever read. It was sensational.

A good book tells the truth—and that’s what Shari Franke did here. I often wondered what went on behind the scenes of ‘perfect’ families. I read this book in two sittings; I couldn’t put it down because Shari told everything about the 8 Passengers family.
It was interesting to get inside the head of the oldest daughter of this infamous family and see where she’s at now. I love that Shari is now petitioning the courts to give rights to the children of family vlogs whose lives are exposed for the world to see.
From Christine's list on religious cults God, gaslighting, and groupthink.
