Eye Contact (Paperback) by Cammie McGovern What a great story! McGorvern touches our heart, inspires us and entertains us with a great psychological mystery. The author has an excellent insight into the topic and builds up the story cleverly. Cara is Adam's mother, a 9 year old child on the autism spectrum. She is a very good single mother and is devoted to his development and happiness. A tragedy happens in his school. A little girl has been found dead and Adam is the only witness; but his ability to communicate is very limited. We also visit Cara as a younger girl who had two good friends, Suzette and Kevin. Each one of them with psychological and health issues. The plot is outstanding and the characters are so well developed you feel a closeness to them. I highly recommend this book for everyone, especially to those interested in the autism spectrum, as parents, relatives, friends, teachers and for anyone in the community to gain more awareness of this epidemic in today's world.
