In and Out of Sorrow and Solitude

Jacoby is 13. His mom died when he was 8, and his father left him and took his sister when he was 9. He was spent the last 4 years living alone in a old water mill, relaying on thievery to survive. He was smart enough to homeschool himself and found out he was pretty smart, so he decided to come out of solitude and begin his basically new life at Vaery high school.
