Publisher's summary

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.

Very uplifting

My husband and I both have been fans of Zeducation and The DEEV channel for ages now. I actually love those guys. I don't know what I expected with this but it went so far and above anything I could have imagined. Excellent story told with heart. I am so proud of how you didn't let your families tragedy stop you from being the amazing human adult that you are! Very well done! I loved every word.

WOW!

Watching Zeducation is a daily routine for me. From that I knew you were a good man, husband, and a wonderful father. Your story blew me out of the water. The writing style, though unusual, was both entertaining and heartfelt. You most certainly earned the joyous and successful life you now have. I learned you are not only a good man, but a great one. Congratulations and continuous success on this book.

family...

exemplifies the strength of family.. and the art of moving forward... Though he sees his story as outlawing in society, you hear yourself in some part of his tale.. His story is.. in some part.. our story.

Is it over already?

This book is wonderful and I didn't want to stop listening. I usually don't listen to autobiographies, but this one is striking. Humans are amazingly resilient and I am grateful I got to hear this story at this part of my life. Thank you for your service, and thank you for this book.
