Synopsis

When Caleb Chance walked out in Detroit five years ago, leaving his band, millions of his fans and his lover behind, Leo knew he could never forgive.

Some things, no matter what the cause, are unforgivable.

But Leo never expected Caleb to show up again, clean and sober and wanting to get their band, Star Shadow, back together. He definitely never expected to agree to Caleb's plan.

He never expected to confront the love of his life again—or the disaster of his past, the hopelessness of his future, and every terrible thing he's been carrying inside him.

But maybe some things aren't so terrible after all.

Contains mature themes.

It can be used for all ages to begin discussions about the historical time of the Holocaust, but is written......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on January 29, 2025

I haven’t read this since middle school, but it’s been on my mind this week. This book may be about the holocaust, but it offers a powerful lesson to stand up for others even when it feels impossible to speak up. So, while I don’t know what actions to take against injustices that feel so big and out......more
