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.............."An outstanding, well-detailed story that is hard to put down, evocative, thought-provoking, and filled with surprises and hope... very highly recommended ... expect far more insight from this read than most, tempered with a purposeful saga to keep readers thoroughly engrossed to the end." (Midwest Book Review)"Avery breaks the laws of nature and lifts a veil ... sophisticated ... masterful ... the work of a conscientious and gifted writer."

A poignant and satisfying conclusion ... This book will stay with you long after you finish it, a hallmark of excellent literature." (Chanticleer Book Reviews)
