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.

Poignant
Revisado: 01-15-25
This is a story that for many is familiar, but also horrifying. Horrifying because many of us watched in real time as this family delved into madness. I think many recognized something wasn’t right, however I think few guessed the full scope of terror that was going on behind the scenes. Shari does an excellent job telling her story both in writing and as narrator. Her self reflection on the events is impressive considering how awful it must have been to dissect her intimate thoughts and feelings. I think we can expect great things from Shari in future- even if it is away from our public eye.

Most people know this book from the Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Winona Ryder. Now, introduce them to the sparkling American classic behind the movie: a charming portrait of the joys and hardships of the four sisters in Civil War New England. Separated by the war from their beloved parents, these "little women" struggle to find their place in the world.

A classic
Revisado: 12-29-24
A classic story with an excellent narrator. A few weird gaps between chapters and sentences but still a great rendition.

The Worst of the Series
Revisado: 04-16-24
A good presentation by the narrator, but on the whole the story was a let down considering the build up of the prior books. Overall the story was too scattered with no character development, if anything I think the main characters regressed. It also failed to complete plot lines brought up in prior books.

Mary Lennox starts her life as an unhappy victim of circumstance. After the loss of her parents, she moves to rural Yorkshire to live with a distant uncle where she resents the wildness of the countryside. At first, she struggles to find a place in this new existence. Although unsure about her surroundings and its occupants, through the gentle guidance of the maid she gradually becomes interested in the story of Mrs Craven, who apparently used to spend her time in a garden at the house, the key to which has vanished.

A pleasant surprise
Revisado: 05-08-23
I selected this story randomly and it was a pleasant surprise at how good it was and how profoundly it affected me. The story is woven between the main characters in a flawless fashion and the narrator does an excellent job vocalizing each individuals story! I might give it a second listen it was so good!
