[QUOTE="jian, post: 9645173, member: 78087"] Two parallel books I’ve been reading recently: [B]My Mother’s House[/B] by Shari Franke is a memoir of growing up in a house dominated by her Mormon tradwife influencer mother and her psychology cult leader. Both Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt are currently in prison for abusing Shari’s younger siblings, and the remaining Frankes seem to be trying to rebuild their family and life. Surprisingly, despite her experiences and being groomed and sexually abused by a Church elder, Shari still seems devoted to the LDS and to her faith. I’m about halfway through [B]I’m Glad My Mom Died[/B], a memoir by child actor Jennette McCurdy (Sam on iCarly) about growing up in a house dominated by her Mormon mother determined to live vicariously through her daughter’s success, haunted by memories of her mother’s breast cancer. McCurdy is considerably more insightful - worryingly so at times - than Franke about the psychological damage that her mother inflicted on her, and that makes the book a funnier yet more harrowing read.
