In <I>Eye Contact</I>, two children vanish in the woods behind their elementary school. Hours later, nine-year-old Adam is found alive, the sole witness to his playmate's murder. But because Adam has autism, he is a silent witness. Only his mother, Cara, can help decode his behavior for the police. As the suspense ratchets, <I>Eye Contact</I> becomes a heart-stopping exploration of the bond between a mother and a very special child. 2600438 2006 Eye Contact total:862|5:129|4:327|3:293|2:100|1:13| 862 3045 1188 211 2 6 false false Tue Apr 22 09:11:05 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 04:38:23 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 21:15:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 09:58:17 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 10:08:05 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 true false Sun Aug 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 17:42:52 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 11:38:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 2 true true Thu Jul 31 22:21:29 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 02 07:28:56 -0700 2008
