jennabeelack 's review for:
The House of My Mother
by Shari Franke
dark
emotional
informative
reflective
sad
fast-paced
I was familiar, as I imagine many of the readers of this book are, of the Franke family and 8 passengers story. I didn't think, going into this, that it would be worse than I thought.
Shari Franke presents a well written and surprisingly empathetic window into her and her mother's lives. Franke, perhaps accidentally, makes a point about the cycle of abuse that vulnerable kids end up in by describing her experiences with Derek.
I'm overjoyed that Shari and her siblings can finally have a chance to move on from this and experience peace.
