Correndo con le forbici in mano (2006)
Augusten Burroughs ha un padre assente e alcolizzato e una madre ossessionata dalla scrittura e dal proprio subconscio creativo. Dopo la loro drammatica separazione, Augusten viene dimenticato e parcheggiato nella casa del dottor Finch, l'originale quanto folle psichiatra della madre. L'uomo, che pratica la scienza della psichiatria come fosse un'alchimia, esercita sui propri pazienti un forte ascendente. Derubata dei beni e della salute, Deirdre Burroughs lascia che il dottor Finch adotti Augusten.Abbandonato in una casa vittoriana tinta di rosa, Augusten si rassegna presto a convivere con la sua nuova famiglia: la signora Finch, madre affettuosa e allampanata che passa le sue giornate davanti ai B-movie horror, Hope, figlia maggiore dei Finch devota al padre e al suo gatto Freud, Natalie, figlia minore col vizio dell'elettroshock e Neil Bookman, figlio adottivo gay col complesso di Edipo.
