{"product_id":"ruby-alana-sanchez-9798183522501","title":"Ruby: Faith, Family Vlogging, and the Abuse Behind the Brand","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mother. A camera. A family brand. A closed door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuby Franke built an audience by turning motherhood into content. As the face of the family YouTube channel 8 Passengers, she presented a home defined by faith, discipline, order, and moral certainty. Millions watched. Some admired her. Some worried. Few could see what was happening once the cameras moved away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt were arrested after one of Ruby's children escaped Hildebrandt's Utah home and sought help from a neighbour. The criminal case that followed exposed severe abuse, a controlling belief system, and the dangerous collision of family vlogging, religious language, therapeutic authority, and parental power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuby: Faith, Family Vlogging, and the Abuse Behind the Brand is a careful, factual account of how a public image collapsed into a criminal case. It traces Ruby's rise as a parenting influencer, her partnership with Hildebrandt and ConneXions, the evidence revealed after the rescue, the court proceedings, and the wider reckoning around child influencers, faith, authority, and family privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with restraint and respect for the surviving children, this book does not treat their suffering as spectacle. Instead, it asks the harder question left behind by the case: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can a family be watched by millions, yet still leave children unseen?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alana Sanchez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798183522501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.65d","brand":"Alana Sanchez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173863792895,"sku":"9798183522501","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ruby-alana-sanchez-9798183522501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
