The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Vampires. Zombies. Homeopathy. Bigfoot. Canola oil  because theres no such thing as a canola. Note that \"witches\" and \"witchcraft\" are absent from this list. When really they should be right there at the top. The thing is  I wouldnt believe in them  and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did  except for one thing: I am a witch.\" --From Toil \u0026amp; Trouble For as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember  he knew things he shouldnt have known. He manifested things that shouldnt 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 thats 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. From the hilarious to the terrifying  Toil \u0026amp; Trouble is a chronicle of one mans journey to understand himself  to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless. There are very few things that are coincidences  as you will learn in Toil \u0026amp; Trouble. Ghosts are real  trees can want to kill you  beavers are the spawn of satan  houses are alive  and in the end  love is the most powerful magic of all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652370358325,"sku":"ByrdShop_1250258367","price":1481.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781250258366.jpg?v=1781851316","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/toil-trouble-a-memoir-9781250258366","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
