“ [They] condemned queerness very publicly … while embodying it privately,” Shari writes of her mother and her business partner and alleged lover, Jodi Hildebrandt — in “ The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom ” (Gallery Books; Jan. 7).

Shari Franke is opening up about the “strange” relationship between her mother Ruby Franke and the family’s therapist Jodi Hildebrandt in her new memoir, The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom.

Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse. The pair were jailed for up to 30 years each last February.
