Wow! 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.

Without spoiling, I'll ask -- Can humans change? Is redemption possible? Are there crimes so godawfully heinous that they cannot be forgiven?
This book shows its age only because tape decks, polyester, and Barbra Streisand are no longer de rigeur -- otherwise, the eternal themes of love, loss, and betrayal are poignantly rendered in this early offering from a master of teen literature. ( )
