The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Life after death. Vampires. Zombies. Reiki. Homeopathy. Rolfing. Reflexology. Note that 'witches' and 'witchcraft' are absent from this list. The thing is, I wouldn't believe in them, and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did, except for one thing: I \u003ci\u003eam\u003c\/i\u003e a witch.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember, he knew things he shouldn't have known. He manifested things that shouldn't have come to pass. And he told exactly no one about this, save one person: his mother. His mother reassured him that it was all perfectly normal, that he was descended from a long line of witches, going back to the days of the early American colonies. And that this family tree was filled with witches. It was a bond that he and his mother shared--until the day she left him in the care of her psychiatrist to be raised in his family (but that's a whole other story). After that, Augusten was on his own. On his own to navigate the world of this tricky power; on his own to either use or misuse this gift. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the hilarious to the terrifying, \u003ci\u003eToil \u0026amp; Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of one man's journey to understand himself, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless.
