Shari Franke, in her recent memoir “The House of My Mother,” detailed the abuse she and her siblings endured, expressing regret over the family’s online presence. She has since stated that she will no longer share her private life publicly.

“Devil In The Family” promises a comprehensive examination of the Franke family’s rise to fame, the escalating concerns surrounding their parenting, and the devastating consequences that followed.
