After having survived a fire when he was six, Jason's world was never quite the same; his mother was gone forever and the scars he suffered from the fire left Jason a shy and closed-off child. Fortunately for Jason, his mother's brother, Uncle Henry took up the role of being a father to him. Having never known his real father, Jason was happy. 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.
