Catherine Ryan Hyde

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?

"Such a sweet and poignant story about people’s capacity to help others just because it’s the right thing to do "

Lisa Morris

Renee Morris

"I loved reading this story. It is a great story about looking for the good in life even amongst so much injustice and evil. "

Tateyana Hendricks

"Catherine Ryan Hyde NEVER disappoints me! This book hit me on so many levels. First, I have 2 deaf sons who are teens. I wonder what their lives will be like. Will it be like the woman on trial because they needed to turn down their processors to block out the background noise? Will it be like Mrs. G. when they're 90 and alone and need assistance and there's no family left to help them and they're down to rationing a half of a can of soup while trying to get someone to stop & help?"
