Fourteen years later he raised the dead.
Now he is a young man physically and emotionally scarred from a tragic fire that killed his mother when he was a child. A fire he could not heal her from.

Now, at twenty-years-old, life takes a tragic turn once more. Uncle Henry is dying. Reminded of the time when he lost his mother, Jason starts falling back into despair; his fear of being alone taking over once more. But Uncle Henry does not leave Jason without giving him something invaluable: advice to help him overcome his fears. Uncle Henry wants Jason to stop hiding from the world. To let go of the fear of being ridiculed because of his physical appearance. Then Jason meets Gina. He is immediately entranced by the girl but will he heed his uncle's advice or keep hiding from the world, including Gina? DP eBookFairs ''Freak'' is an emotional tale.
