The House of My Mother by Shari Franke

4.0

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense medium-paced

---

It’s hard to ”rate” someone’s life story, but I think Franke tells hers in a very compelling way. I personally highly respected the way she refuses to tell her siblings’ stories for them, and how she didn’t use her story as a platform to proselytize for her religion.

I hope that from now on, Franke and her siblings get to live a loving and private life.
