Plot: The tale of a youngster who was abandoned by his mother and then deserted by her. When Augusten Burroughs turns 14, his parents divorce, and his mother—who considers herself a talented poet on the cusp of stardom—delivers him to the quirky home of her psychiatrist, Dr. Finch. That year, Augusten did cosmetology, wrote a journal, and stayed out of school. He befriends Finch's younger daughter, his mother's mental illness gets worse, he takes an older girlfriend, and he occasionally receives presents from an unexpected benefactor.
