Wait for the Dawn by Eileen Franklin

Stephen was autistic. Just a few weeks away from his 14th birthday, he went missing from his home at Otaki Beach which resulted in a full scale search by police and rescue teams. Stephen was never found but he is remembered in this autobiography. Although it is his mum's autobiography, it is basically about Stephen. It is also the story of the love and faithfulness of our lord who brings good out of everything.
