　　First introduced to the world in her sons’ now-classic

memoirs—Augusten Burroughs’s Running with Scissors and John Elder

Robison’s Look Me in the Eye—Margaret Robison now tells her own

haunting and lyrical story. A poet and teacher by profession,

Robison describes her Southern Gothic childhood, her marriage to a

handsome, brilliant man who became a split-personality alcoholic

and abusive husband, the challenges she faced raising two children

while having psychotic breakdowns of her own, and her struggle to

regain her sanity.

Robison grew up in southern Georgia, where the fa?ade of 1950s

propriety masked all sorts of demons, including alcoholism,

misogyny, repressed homosexuality, and suicide. She met her

husband, John Robison, in college, and together they moved up

north, where John embarked upon a successful academic career and

Margaret brought up the children and worked on her art and poetry.

Yet her husband’s alcoholism and her collapse into psychosis, and

the eventual disintegration of their marriage, took a tremendous

toll on their family: Her older son, John Elder, moved out of the

house when he was a teenager, and her younger son, Chris (who later

renamed himself Augusten), never completed high school. When

Margaret met Dr. Rodolph Turcotte, the therapist who was treating

her husband, she felt understood for the first time and quickly

fell under his idiosyncratic and, eventually, harmful

influence.

Robison writes movingly and honestly about her mental illness,

her shortcomings as a parent, her difficult marriage, her traumatic

relationship with Dr. Turcotte, and her two now-famous children,

Augusten Burroughs and John Elder Robison, who have each written

bestselling memoirs about their family. She also writes inspiringly

about her hard-earned journey to sanity and clarity. An astonishing

and enduring story, The Long Journey Home is a remarkable and

ultimately uplifting account of a complicated, afflicted

twentieth-century family.
