Trailer Park Parable: A Memoir of How Three Brothers Strove to Rise Above Their Broken Past, Find Forgiveness, and Forge a Hopeful Future

Written by Tyler Zed

Narrated by Tyler Zed

"Attempted murder victim told the Brainerd Dispatch she believes her sixteen-year-old son saved her."

This is the news article detailing the event that would drastically change Tyler Zed's life and that of his family forever.

Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, Tyler and his two brothers filled their days with chaotic fun, from playing hockey to building forts to making their own home movies. The household was also full of addiction and abuse that ultimately led to their father attempting to murder their mother on Christmas Eve 2007.

Trailer Park Parable follows Tyler and his family before Christmas Eve 2007, the events leading to that night, and the years afterward. It trails the boys as they deal with varying degrees of PTSD and their own battles with addiction, before they eventually turned their creative coping mechanisms, like their YouTube channels, into million-subscriber successes.

From living in a trailer park to running a multi-million-dollar business, Trailer Park Parable highlights a true, American-dream story, countering a popular narrative that tells us you may as well not even try, the system is rigged against you.

Loved the book Dez, Great writing style that'll only get better with time... I hate that you all had to suffer that way, but really glad that y'all made it thru and I'm sure it will help others to come to terms with the hand they've been dealt.
Love your humor and twist on things. Your passion comes thru and it's an inspiration to us old folk and refreshing to see in somebody so young...
I read a lot of the same books you did back in the day and you're right, one is different after finishing a good one.
don't stop with the vids, don't stop writing, have a dozen kids and live a long happy life,
Jeff in Mississippi
