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 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.

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!

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.

Sad but inspiring read

Shari courageously shared her story, and listening to the neglect and suffering she endured deeply moved me. My heart goes out to her for the strength it took to tell her experience.

Shari’s story moved me.

While I'm sure that girl had suffered unimaginable abuse, she showed in the introduction that she is at best an unreliable narrator. I was watching the bodycam footage of the cops entering Hildebrand mansion minute before purchasing this book. The police didn't have gun drawn, they were all holes there's. The door wasn't destroyed so the police could enter, Hildebrand opened the door while talking to her lawyer and they removed her from inside. Shari claim she was there, told her the layout of the house and that she had 4 siblings living with her mom. While it may be true, I've never seen Shari on any police bodycam, the cops found blueprint of the mansion in the basement, which is where they kearnt of the safe room, and it took hours after arresting Franke to know they still had the 2 middle child missing.

Furthermore I have been hoping since the beginning of the book that she would renounce her faith. Unfortunately I have 50 minutes remaining and she did not. I will be unfortunately have to return the book since I do not want my money to LDS as she will surely do thru their 10% tithing.

Unreliable narrator
