The House of My Mother

"Sad, true story of abuse and trauma in a Utah family. Like a lot of the “celebrity” or “influencer” books, I had zero idea who any of these people were, but they were apparently famous YouTubers. The book is in the same vein as If You Tell, although not as insane. But it’s also very vague on details, which the author says is on purpose. It does take away from the story and your ability to understand the depths of what is happening."

"There are some really sick parents out there. Praying the kids can recover from such psychological turmoil. Shari, you are so strong!!"

"Heartbreaking. "

"The way she tells her story is amazing. The strength that took is absolutely awesome. You definitely a role model for me showing me how even in the darkest of times with the right dedication you can work for it to be better! 100% recommend you all to read this book and hear her story!!!"

"I have never read a book this fast. I was a returning fan of the family channel and never knew what was going on (even with the hidden abuse on camera). This book is an eye opener to me about many things (not just the abuse itself); faith, courage, and the wrong of family vlogging. I recommend this book 100%"

"I have A LOT of thoughts. <br/>All I’m going to say here is this: I have a feeling we are going to see more books like this soon from the children of “content creators”."

"1 Shari is an incredible writer. <p> 2 I hope her mother and Jodi rot in jail. <p> 3 I hope her siblings heal and live very happy, loving lives. <p> 4 Jodi and Ruby were ******* each other. <p> Ruby...Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. You were both women of god... <p><img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExczVoNDZkNmhxb3hlaGkwd2Y0cW05a3FqZWkwdGxnMnk2MHMxbjF0ZCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Fck6m7UVbUQhecDalo/giphy.gif"/> <p> You didn't have to lock your youngest children in a basement. You just had to get a divorce. <p> <img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbTRtZ3RpOHB5ZWl5MjhpbWZtMjMyeG5jcDllbHU4dzRpbnJ4ZjZpYSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/52FmnokM0kfcgFb5fq/giphy.gif"/> <p> Anyways, I am so glad your daughter was brave enough to speak out, but also I am so glad she was able to expose every single pathetic little lie of yours. I hope someone sends you letters in jail to let you know we are LAUGHING OUT LOUD, and praying for your kids, something you were not capable of doing yourself. <p> <img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExOXV5dGprZjNtZGlueHR1cmx4cWFxOHlqZDdjd3Nic2FkODg2eDNlMyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/26ybuI7f7uI6Y7Uqc/giphy.gif"/> <p> PS: If what I said made no sense to you, google 8 PASSENGERS. The Utah Mormon Mommy vlogger who was arrested in 2023 for child abuse. She also ruined her children's life after she involved herself with a cult leader, con-woman named Jodi. I am unbelievably impressed at Shari's ability to rise from the ashes, to heal as a woman from what was done to her as a child, to still speak of her mother with kindness but HONESTY. And I am so proud of her for the work she has been doing to defend children in social media spaces. Children can't consent to being filmed, they shouldn't be your little money making machine. <p> If you liked I am Glad My Mother Died, you will also love this one."

"Wow. Just wow"

"Eye-opening. Society has finally arrived at the place where the children of these vloggers and families who exploit their kids can move the curtain and show us what it was like for them behind the cameras and without the veil of editing. "
