About this audiobook
Buddy Boyle lives year-round with his family in unfashionable Seaville, New York, in a cramped little house on the bay. Skye Pennington spends the summers nearby on lavish estate complete with ocean view and a butler named Peacock. But Skye and Buddy fall in love anyway. And every once in a while they visit Buddy's estranged grandfather, who makes them forget they're from opposite sides of town. Then a reporter appears, searching for a man known as Gentlehands, a man with a horrifying past. Who is Gentlehands? And what is his connection to Buddy's handsome, aristocratic grandfather? The mystery threatens to shatter Buddy and Skye's relationship, and change their lives forever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! An incredible story highlighting a perspective I had not yet encountered in my Holocaust readings - a SS Nazi guard, Gentlehands, who had escaped Germany after World War II and his hidden identity living in Seaside, NY. I found the main character, Buddy Boyle, relatable and endearing. He is fiercely protective of those he cares for but has a strong conviction to do what is right. It has enough love story/teen angst to capture teenage readers but also introduces an important historical figure AND major issues of racial prejudice.
