April 1, 2007 — Eye Contact Paperback Release! "A suspense-filled page-turner poised to take the bestseller lists by storm.  The plot is irresistible." Sunday Express "McGovern builds a wrenching drama from her rich premise...the narrative moves like a freight train and its conclusion will leave no reader unmoved. The unforgettable Adam is both a charmer and, in his distinctively quiet way, a hero...a successful combination of compassionate domestic realism and pulse-rattling suspense." Krkus Review
