At the begging of Running with scissors, Augusten Burroughs lives with his mother, Deirdre, and his father, Norman, in Leverett. Their glass house was large and open, and surrounded by trees in the middle of the forest. When Augusten and Deidre split Deidre moves into a new place, an apartment in Amherst. After Dr. Finch takes Augusten into his family, Augusten moves in with them at 67 Perry Street in Northampoton, Massachusetts; in house that does not belong with the other houses on his block. It is an old pink house that appears abandoned with flattened grass outside of it. The new house becomes a place Augusten's new house and it was nothing he could ever think of.
