What I’m READING: The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom by Shari Franke. I’d by no means watched the household’s YouTube channel and actually didn’t even know who Ruby Franke was till a good friend talked about the documentary. I made a decision to learn the guide earlier than watching the present, and wow, what a narrative.
The story is heartbreaking, although not as heavy as I anticipated it to be. Rising up underneath the management of a narcissistic guardian was clearly a painful, tough expertise for the entire household. But by way of this guide, Shari (the oldest daughter) takes again her story from the media and tells it in her personal voice. Her love for her household, alongside along with her continued religion in God, shines by way of and says a lot about her power and character.
“For the place two or three collect in my title, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20 NIV
