With each page, this raw account of a man coming to grips with his battle with booze-his inability to have intimate relationships with others- will shed light into anyone's life. Adam holds nothing back as he describes how each of the characters in his Circus of One played a part in his unraveling, while also being the stitches that slowly help him to heal. Anyone trying to come to grips with his or her past and the role people play in shaping one's life, should mark this as an important read. Growing up in New Mexico-hounded by the thoughts of an expected early exit from life birthed by a morbid childhood dream life left him seeking more of anything-Me, more and now! The battle between the sovereignty of his reason and the sovereignty of his spiritual self would slowly stain his soul. Using his reason to manipulate his way through life was the foundation he built a multitude of life experiences upon. Whether you're struggling with addiction or any other difficulty, this real-life account describes one man's path, the hard work necessary to understand how one lands in a place of disarray, and how to overcome what may seem insurmountable obstacles. This work portrays not necessarily a how-to guide, but an account of one's travels to a place of peace-entertaining, revealing, sobering, and healing in its own right.
About the Author: Adam Francis Raby is a writer, yogi, and public speaker living in La Jolla, California. Although not famous for anything but infamous for his desire to explore all the possibilities afforded in the human experience when tethered to the desires of the self.

Adam Raby is a colorful mix of business owner, entrepreneur, social scientist, political junkie, lover of history, music, culture, current events, a good time, and an insatiable desire to consume the foods of the world. He stakes no claim on "how to" navigate the complexities of life-strange in a world looking for the path of least resistance. The desire to explore his own experiences in life and to share them in an open, honest, and respectful way while honoring and learning from the experiences of others is a method of growth we can all practice-unconditional love.
