À propos de cet audio

From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog 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!

Sad but inspiring read

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.

Endlessly Courageous

In this shocking story of resilience and courage, I found myself proud of the amazing woman who fought through all barriers to overcome her upbringing.

Such a strong women

Written with such strength, taking her power back and beginning to see her own worth. Shari's book is fantastically written and the audio book brings so much more life to the words. Whether you find yourself in similar situations as she was in, or in complete different ones - her words and thoughts hold so much healing in them.

Sometimes are mothers are our first monsters

Growing up in an abusive household I always noticed similar signs from the eight passengers YouTube channel with behaviours my mother exhibited but I never expected how vicious the truth truly was. Ruby Franke deserves a worse prison sentence with no possibility of parole, emotional abuse should be taken much more seriously in our society’s today. Narcissism and manipulation are aspects of our society that are very hard to spot, and once you do you realize how deep a person’s words can truly affect your mental health over time. Growing up in a violent and narcissistic household cal lead you to thinking certain behaviours are normal which can lead to dangerous and traumatic experiences.

Shari’s story is brave and inspirational and should motivate us all to break the cycle and let the abuse end with us. We’re all prone to manipulation no matter our age when we grow up believing we are less deserving of certain affections due to our environmental situation. Religion is easy to manipulate, weather it’s how we interpret it or how others interpret it, and the story of 8 passengers is just another story of how far religious extremism goes and how it affects us mentally. Shari took all the values ruby misunderstood and manipulated and found the truth in her religion to prove that love doesn’t mean violence.

“Realizing your mother was incapable of truly seeing you, of loving you for who you are, rather than an extension of herself is a bitter pill to swallow.” As someone with a mother who has NPD I relate a lot to Shari, and I connected a lot to this story, which is why I was so interested in the case. I feel absolutely horrible for all six of those children for the abuse that they had to suffer under that horrible woman. Children do not deserve to be loved with condition only. I have my own personal feelings on family vlogging and children being on YouTube, but if we can learn anything in the eight passengers case it’s that we can never trust what we are seeing on the Internet, and that we should always question content we are consuming.

Amazing read!!!

Finished this book faster than any other book I have ever read. My heart is left so heavy though, after years of watching the 8p YouTube channel it is still crazy to think this was the bts. This book made me truly think about the perspectives of those I had been watching for years on YouTube. I will definitely think twice about who I am watching/supporting online now. Overall this book is a great conversation starter about consent online, I truly think everyone should get a chance to read/listen to it.

Very eye-opening and ABSOLUTELY worth the read.

I was a former viewer of the 8 Passengers channel. At the time, I didn't understand what was really happening behind the scenes. Most of the time I didn't like Ruby's parenting techniques cuz they seemed very strict to me and you could see the fear in their innocent children's eyes and how they helped each other to reduce the tension. I think that's what I liked most about this channel: the siblinghood. Discovering all the damage and pain these children have gone through breaks my heart. I am so proud of Shari for making her voice be heard and telling her story. I'm so glad She finds her way to fulling of healing and the wonderful people helped her in her path.
Her bravery, intelligence, and resilience is truly astounding. In her words you will find an incredible young writer who clearly articulating all that she endured with a lack of rancor. Clearly, she shows the highly intelligent that was developed in her therapy session.
Highly recommend this read: a testament to the strength. I wish her and her sibilings all the best in this life! And hope she continues her path of writing and shares her writing skills with the world.
