The #1 New York Times Bestseller and an Entertainment Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year, this true story follows a boy whose mother, a poet with delusions of grandeur, gives him away to her eccentric psychiatrist resembling Santa Claus. At twelve, Burroughs finds himself living in Victorian squalor with the doctor's unusual family and befriending a pedophile in the backyard shed.

It is a funny yet harrowing tale of survival under extraordinary circumstances. The acknowledgments express deep gratitude to various individuals and the author's family for their roles in shaping his memorable childhood. The author recognizes the real-life family members portrayed in the book and appreciates their acceptance, noting that their memories may differ from his own. The intention was never to cause harm, and both the author and publisher regret any unintended consequences from its publication. Ultimately, the author thanks his brother for exemplifying the importance of being wholly unique.
