  • ""In the woods of a small town, Adam, a nine-year-old autistic boy, is discovered next to the body of his classmate. They both wandered off from the school playground several hours earlier, and now police are relying on Adam as the only witness to an appalling crime. But he can't tell the police what he saw - or what he heard. Barely verbal on the best of days, Adam has retreated into a silent world that Cara, his mother, knows only too well. When another child goes missing, Cara must interpret the changes in Adam's behavior not only to help him through the trauma, but also to help the police catch a killer. As she moves closer to exposing the truth, her unsettling past begins to emerge from the shadows. In her desperate desire to protect her child from real life, has she made his world a more dangerous place?"--Publisher's web site."

  • "A child has been murdered, and the only witness won't talk. This is fairly common stuff in murder mysteries, but this witness is a boy locked up by autism. Adam's view of the world around him is interesting, and the plot itself is thought provoking since the reader hears about an assortment of people with communication challenges as the mystery untangles. Julia Fletcher offers a flawless reading that steps back to allow the listener to become absorbed in the story. Unobtrusive and clear, Adam's voice calmly sheds light on the difficulty of moving through a complicated world searching for one's strengths."@en
  • "This novel of psychological suspense is at its core the story of the tangled bond between mother and son. A nine-year-old autistic boy is discovered hiding near the body of his murdered classmate. Barely able to communicate on the best of days, the experience of witnessing the murder leaves him unable to explain what he saw or heard. It's up to his mother to reach her traumatized son--both to help him heal and to help the police catch the killer."@en
