Description: An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller. New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde brings heartwarming authenticity to the story of two strangers who find that kindness is a powerful antidote to fear. Raymond Jaffe feels like he doesn t belong. Not with his mother's new family. Not as a weekend guest with his father and his father's wife. Not at school where he's an outcast. After his best friend moves away Raymond has only two real connections: to the feral cat he's tamed and to a blind ninety - two - year - old woman in his building who's introduced herself with a curious question: Have you seen Luis Velez? Mildred Gutermann a German Jew who narrowly escaped the Holocaust has been alone since her caretaker disappeared. She turns to Raymond for help and as he tries to track Luis down a deep and unexpected friendship blossoms between the two. Despondent at the loss of Luis Mildred isolates herself further from a neighborhood devolving into bigotry and fear. Determined not to let her give up Raymond helps her see that for every terrible act the world delivers there is a mirror image of deep kindness and Mildred helps Raymond see that there's hope if you have someone to hold on to.
