Synopsis

As a single parent Martha was sure she was giving her two children the perfect life. When daughter Augusta turned 15 things started to happen; first the cigarette, then the blue pipe and the little bag Augusta says are aspirin. Martha can't seem to get through to Augusta, and Augusta it appears is intent of doing everything to hurt herself. Martha doesn't know if she's confronting teenage adolescence, craziness, her own failure as a parent, or all three.

About this title

Review:

Karen Karbo author of "Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me" Martha Tod Dudman reveals one of life's best-kept secrets: no one can rip out your heart like your own child. "Augusta, Gone" is a shock and a wonder, a two-ton truck on a mountain road without brakes, a tough, poignant tale of the revenge of the life cycle, in its ironic glory.

About the Author:

Martha Tod Dudman served as President and General Manager of Dudman Communications, a group of radio stations, from 1990 to 1999. Now a professional fundraiser, she lives in Northeast Harbor, Maine, with her son and daughter.
