Eye Contact is a novel written by Cammie McGovern.  It takes place in a simple town
with regular, everyday people. However, there are some extraordinary children in that town
with parents that try their best to give them what they deserve in life. Within one of those
groups of children we are introduced to Adam, a nine-year-old who has an amazing sense of
hearing, and is a witness to a murder. Everything should be fairly easy, since all Adam has to
do is tell the police who committed the murder. But he can't, because Adam is autistic.
Cara, his mother, is the only one who can coax the answer out of him.

 It is not as easy as it sounds. Adam is a very special child- only time can tell what will happen.
Of course mother does know best, but when another child goes missing it wears on Cara's
nerves, making her desperate for answers. And when questions are answered, only more
questions come to light, and some of those questions were not what Cara was expecting to
want answers to.

Eye Contact is a book that just shows the reader how much love a mother has for
her child. The book is exhilarating, mysterious, and even with its thrilling plot there are
some points that can make you laugh and hiccup with emotion.
Cara was a young mother, and being a mother is extremely difficult. Even with a child
who does not need special attention. But Cara had that challenge and she hurdled through
it, even though she cried, and she lost important people along the way. She just had to be
there, for her child and for herself.
