Where I Found You A Gripping, Powerful, Uplifting Story of a Mother's Love
Your daughter will not speak... But can she teach you how to live? Ever since Ruby was tiny, she has been unique. Her smiles are magically rare, and she likes things done in a very particular way - her blocks are always colour-coded, and her toy animals stand in regimented lines. She's also the daughter of Sara's dreams - even on days when being a mother to a three-year-old is exhausting. Not everyone understands Ruby like Sara does though. Not Sara's husband Mike, and certainly not her disapproving mother-in-law, Barbara. So when circumstances force their family to move in with Barbara, Sara knows it's going to make motherhood even harder. Then Ruby's pre-school suggest that her behaviour and refusal to speak might be the first signs of a bigger issue, in the same week that Mike walks out on them. And Sara's world is blown apart. Facing life as a single parent and trying to work out Ruby's needs is more than Sara can handle alone. There's only one person she can turn to for support - Barbara. But how can you ask for help from someone who doesn't think you're raising your child right? Who thinks your daughter's problems are in your imagination? For the love of one girl who will not speak, can the two women overcome their differences and learn to communicate? A powerful emotional page-turner about motherhood, friendship and family. Guaranteed to take your breath away. Perfect for fans of Diane Chamberlain, Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes.
