This is a page turner mystery that at the same time, takes a look into the private lives of a young boy with autism and his mother. How does she cope? Is he improving or is she imagining it? She wants only the best for him but is she trying too hard? The boy is witness to a murder....or did he commit it? Very ingrossing.
