About the Book

When troubled twelve-year-old Alex is assigned to spend his summer volunteering at a senior living facility, he forms a unique bond with a Holocaust survivor and learns lessons that change the trajectory of his life.

As Alex comes back again and again to hear more, an unlikely bond grows between them. Soon a new possibility opens up for Alex: Can he rise to the occasion of his life, even if it means confronting the worst thing that he’s ever done? New York Times bestselling author Gayle Forman has crafted a multigenerational story of hope, compassion, and forgiveness that is as timely as it is timeless.

This program is co-sponsored by Voices of Hope
