The House of My Mother by Shari Franke

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad

4.75

Wow. This book had me on the verge of tears so many times. As the oldest daughter, I related way too much with the strong urge to be the protector of my younger siblings, and though we never had to face anything this devastating, I know exactly how hopeless and guilty I would feel for not being able to protect them just like Shari did. This book is truly powerful, and while I would have been interested in reading more about her experiences and feelings during the vlogging time in her life, I know just how important it was to focus more on the time after that period and that part is what impacted me the most. I definitely recommend this book; it for sure has a huge cultural significance to our current world.
