Kiedy twoje dziecko nie potrafi spojrzeć ci w oczy, czy oznacza to, że jest winne? Nastoletni Jacob Hunt cierpi na zespół Aspergera, co utrudnia mu czytanie sygnałów społecznych oraz wyrażanie myśli i uczuć. Na pierwszy rzut oka to inteligentny i elokwentny chłopak, ale każde odstępstwo od rutyny może go wytrącić z równowagi. Zbyt jasne światło, dotyk obcej osoby czy nieodpowiednia konsystencja płatków śniadaniowych mogą wywołać u niego furię. Jacob ma obsesję na punkcie analizy kryminalistycznej, często pojawia się w miejscach przestępstw, instruując detektywów, co robić, i zazwyczaj ma rację. To poruszająca opowieść o samotnym świecie dziecka z zespołem Aspergera oraz o zmaganiach jego rodziny, pełna strachu i głębokiej matczynej miłości. Autorka uczy współczucia i zrozumienia dla osób z autyzmem, stawiając pytania o nasze podejście do tych, którzy są inni, oraz o oczekiwania wobec nich. Opisuje system prawny, który sprzyja tym, którzy potrafią się komunikować w określony sposób, a jednocześnie marginalizuje tych, którzy tej umiejętności nie mają.
