Description: Cara, a single mother, has devoted her life to opening paths of communication between her autistic son and the outside world. Now, she must interpret the changes in Adam's behavior to help him through the trauma of a classmate's murder--and to catch a killer.
Review Quotes: So detailed and illuminating are McGovern s descriptions of Adam . . . that she offers, in essence, a primer on the nature of autism. Eye Contact is compelling by virtue of its spiky and in-transition characters. Psychologically rich and sensationally eventful. ("Chicago Tribune")
