The almost unbelievable story of the authors unconventional upbringing in the 1970's.Abandoned by his parents, and raised by his mothers doctor and his outlandish family, this is an incredibly funny, painfully honest and ultimately unforgettable memoir.

Augusten's re-telling of his bizarre adolescence, raised by his mother's psychiatrist offers much food for thought...but mostly it's very entertaining! If you like David Sedaris, you are sure to love this.
