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.

Critic reviews
“A master of making a heartwarming tale feel authentic and socially urgent, Hyde (Just After Midnight, 2018, etc.) deftly sketches the plights of Raymond and Millie, weighting their friendship with worries and regrets that echo as true…A tender tale of new families born of chance and the determination to bring light into darkness.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Have You Seen Luis Velez? it’s a very challenging story where we get to encounter so much of today’s society ways of thinking, prejudices, and racism behaviours. Our hearts will break and will feel full of love with this beautiful story.
Raymond was a 16-year-old boy who felt like nobody understood him. His family is divided and his friends don’t have the same taste and likes as him. He was going through life without feeling that he belonged or accepted until one day he met someone who will not only change his life but also will bring more happiness and stability to this new friend.
Have you seen Luis Velez? it’s a story that will show you how much Ray's parents didn’t know him, he was constantly battling to fit IN, in his mother's house, With a stepdad that didn’t have any love to give, with a stepmother that felt so threatened by Ray that will make any excuses not to have any contact with him or the coldness of society that didn’t care too much about feelings and justice.
Mrs.G a 90-year-old woman who is alone with a disability that is not letting her continue her life
is desperate to find where is her good friend Luis Velez? She feels lost and doesn’t know how to find him, she barely has anything let to eat and is so afraid to even go outside. Until an angel walked by her door and life and miracles begging to happen.
Have You Seen Luis Velez? is a story of faith and friendship, is a story of how people can have a very different perspective and opinion about the same situation and outcome. is a story of hope, of not giving up no matter how sad and ungrateful life has been.
The narrations by Michael Crouch were amazing, it is my first book narrated by Michael and i really love his work, the way he made us feel every emotion the characters were going through but mainly the way he really brought the characters to life, he really made me feel like there was a lot of different narrators in the story.
One of my favorite books by Catherine! really love this book so much.
In Love With Ray and Mrs.G!
