Bad Mom: A Ruby Franke Novel

By: Bogdan, N. C.

Book Overview

Behind the perfect suburban fa ade, Ruby Frankie was a mother admired by millions-a popular YouTube star who preached discipline, family values, and unwavering devotion. But what unfolded within the walls of her home was a nightmare of control, cruelty, and a twisted belief in "truth."

When a desperate 9-1-1 call from a starved and terrified child shattered the silence of a quiet Utah town, the world discovered the dark reality behind Ruby Frankie's meticulously crafted image. What began as a picture-perfect family spiraled into a web of psychological torment, orchestrated by Ruby and her enigmatic partner, Jody Hildebrand. Together, they turned a family home into a prison of fear, masking abuse as discipline and subjecting innocent children to unimaginable horrors.

As investigators unraveled the layers of deceit, they uncovered a chilling doctrine of obedience and suffering-one that Ruby believed was the only path to purity. But as the evidence mounted and the truth emerged, Ruby's empire of control came crashing down, exposing the sinister depths of her "devotion."

In this gripping true crime novel, "Bad Mom" delves into the disturbing intersection of blind faith, manipulation, and parental power. It's a harrowing journey through the mind of a mother who lost herself in her own darkness-and the children who fought to survive it.

A cautionary tale of control gone mad, and a stark reminder that not all monsters hide in the shadows-some live in plain sight.
