SOLVED. man named adam with some mental illness that kills himself in the end [s]

[Erin]

I read a book about a Man named adam with some type of mental illness. The book also has a character that i believe to be his cousin. One of the books major settings is a carnival or fair of some kind. Please help me find this book. This could be a young adult book. book is fiction

Book description:
WELCOME TO ADAM'S WORLD...
When he awakens in a skid row alley, Adam knows nothing. Not who he is, nor where he's from. Money is a mystery. So are women. All he begins his new life with is a will to survive. But he learns fast: first, how to get away; then how not to have to. In the beginning Adam wants to be friends with us. Before he's through he just might run the human race off its feet...

Is this is the book you're talking about

The story is about a young girl named Hattie who discovers she has an uncle named Adam that she never knew about. She meets and gets to know him when he returns home after being institutionalized for years due to his mental illnesses.

And does he kill himself at the end of that one?

Erin, you have two suggestions here - is either one your book?

No response but the book's page says that Adam does kill himself in a shed. Moving to Solved.
