Synopsis

"This is the book you should be reading." —San Francisco Book Review

Only one obstacle stands in his way of enjoying a normal life.
He remembers—every life he's lived before.

Tres is about to be born... with the biggest burden any has ever had to bear. He is beginning again—as an ageless adult trapped in an infant body.

He and his teenage mother face life filled with extraordinary challenges as they strive to protect, nurture, and hide how truly different he is. But Tres alone must solve the greatest mystery of all: who is he? The answer is linked to the one question he's too afraid to ask: why am I?

In his quest, Tres discovers that all is considerably more interconnected and dynamic than he could ever imagine—and fraught with far more danger. He cannot hide from the unseen threat stalking him since his birth.

Life as he knows it—as all know it—is in peril. And Tres is the only one aware.

About this title

About the Author

"[Her] writing is nothing short of brilliant. Avery knows her way around words and uses them with expertise to captivate the audience." (Reader Views)

"She's a master of grabbing the reader and pulling them into the story. ... Her writing is off-the-wall ... and always, ALWAYS spellbinding." (The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards UK)

"Magic is the term that comes to mind first when attempting to describe the impact of Justine's prose. She has a mastery of expression of created fantasies that ring very closely to contemporary reality." (Grady Harp, Amazon Vine Voice, Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer)

"Justine Avery is one writer who knows how to wield words that wake us up....and in very short order. ... Her words paint pictures... Her metaphors intrigue. ... [She] has remarkable insight into human nature. ... [She] tells it like it is. And so well. (Loretta M. Siani, author of Everyday Miracles: Nine Keys to Miraculous Living)

"Justine Avery is such a clever, clever writer. She'll pull you in, mess with you a little and ... when you think you have a handle on the story, she'll pull the rug from under you. Wonderful stuff!" (The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards UK)

"To be able to draw in the reader and make them root for or stress about a character's decisions in such a short space is a positive reflection on an author's skill. ... Avery sets the scene perfectly with those first few lines, and her imaginative, gentle take on the inanities of the so-called civilized world sweeps the reader from the banal to the fantastic, almost before you know it." (Readers' Favorite)
