INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Heart-wrenchingly personal…dizzying.” —Rolling Stone

From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog—now the subject of a new Hulu docuseries—and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing.

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.

As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime.

Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.”

For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.©2025 Shari Franke (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

It was a beautifully written book that brought many emotions while listening to and as someone who has difficulty with reading and focusing, I finished the book within a few days of listening.

I could not stop listening, from growing up watching the 8 passengers to now learning the shocking truth behind the camera this book had everything. It was so special to hear Sheri, reading the words she had written and listening to her side of her shocking reality! I would most definitely recommend!

Was unfamiliar with story. Found it hard to stop listening as I usually only listen when commuting. I needed to slow the author’s voice to 0.9 to make her rate pleasant but it is hard to knock someone telling their own story as part of their healing journey. I wish the family wellness and healing. I hope the author isn’t done as it sounds like there is still religious harm to work through and accountability to be won.

Finished quickly

Such a well written book that describes facts and feelings interwoven to reach the mind and hearts of others. My hope is that this book completes a path for Shari that puts her life in-front of others now on the shelf. I hope, that this closes the door on other’s gawking and judgement. I hope that this brings her peace and determination to now stay in the shadows of the world and to embrace her quiet and private sunshine. Blessings to you Shari. Thank you for your strength of character and courage to speak truth. I also hope that others will consider what kind of content we consume.

The past behind and the future bright

I’ve never reviewed a book on here and I’ve read so many. But I had to - thank you to Shari for sharing your story. And making me feel less alone in my own experience with a narcissistic parent. Shari’s resolve despite what she went through was moving.

Moving, Honest, Brave

I am in awe ! Very well written … thank you Shari for reading and writing this memoir. For someone who watched the 8 passengers all those years. It has made me more aware and reiterated how bad social media influence can be especially when money comes into play. I hope the children have their time to heal and lead on to living better lives.

Wow
