The Circle Worker: Based on a True Story by Geoff Mills
The Circle Worker opens with a man awakened by a voice demanding he get up
and leave the garage where he is sleeping. The man smells and has defecated all
over himself. He is homeless, drunk and lost.
What makes The Circle Worker so engrossing is that we, the reader, are the
homeless man, he is our hero, the voice we follow, the story that unfolds before
our eyes.
Yet, he has no idea who he is or where he is. His memory has vanished. He drinks to ease the pain that wreaks havoc on his mind and body.
From page one of Geoff Mills' immensely addictive memoir, we are plunged into the
story of a man in search of his identity.
He asks almost everyone he encounters on a daily basis who he is. He knows that
everyone has the potential to hold a clue that will unlock the door to his past as well
as explain his current destitution.
Little by little, day by day, he recognizes a car or a face, or a name sounds
familiar.....He follows the clues that lead him from one place to the next, bringing
him face to face with his opulent past and his romantic future. All the while, his
Bible remains by his side, quite miraculous considering the wretched conditions in
which he lives throughout this harrowing memoir.
The writing is in first-person, crisp, and immediate. It's Bright Light Big City meets
A Million Little Pieces. The Circle Worker is a harrowing page-turner about
survival, memory, and ultimately, love.
It inspires us to never give up, never stop questioning and always have faith – even
when life looks utterly hopeless. Geoff Mills' story reads like a thriller, which it is.
What makes this story extraordinary is that it is true. From riches to rags to a
whole new understanding of riches, The Circle Worker is gripping and healing!
This is the book for anyone who needs a sign to have faith in life and in the healing
power of love.
