songmingi 's review for:
The House of My Mother
by Shari Franke
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
fast-paced
It feels weird to put a star rating on this, it's a really intimate look into the life of someone I've never met before. However this in itself highlights the inherent tragedy of Shari Franke's life. a
Atleast this time her life story is being shared on her own terms. The story of Ruby Franke became something so sensationalised, something shared as strange devastating tale, therefore its good to hear the incident told by someond who is affected by it. To see the very real and devastating effects Ruby had on her children even before she got involved with Jody Hildebrant. The Ruby franke case is not a horror story or creepy tale it is a very real event that devastated the lives of her children.
I think this was really well written, it was easy to connect to Shari and understand her thoughts and feelings throughout her life. I admire her for not writing about her siblings stories and instead focusing on her own, so as to not exploit them like her mother did. I also really found her reconnecting with her faith really touching. I wish her and her siblings the best. A really interesting listen.
