Narrative Non-Fiction

An unforgettable, darkly funny, and deeply bizarre memoir about an unconventional childhood. The true story of a boy who wanted to grow up with the Brady Bunch but instead found himself living with the Addams Family, this book chronicles the time his mother gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist—a man who was a "certifiable lunatic". In a dilapidated Victorian house where the Christmas tree stayed up until summer and there were no rules, Augusten navigated a strange world of eccentric patients, Valium-popping, and electroshock therapy machines.
