Review: Where I Found You By Emma Robinson

Your daughter does not speak… But can she teach you how to live?


Ever since Ruby was tiny, she has been unique. Her smiles are magically rare, her building blocks are always colour-coded, and she communicates only in gestures. Sometimes, being Ruby’s mother is hard, but the way she sees the world makes it new for Sara every day.



When Sara’s husband walks out on them, Sara’s world falls apart, and her mother-in-law, Barbara, is the only person she can turn to for help. But Barbara thinks Ruby’s problems are all in Sara’s head; that she just doesn’t know how to raise a child right.



Sara can’t see how she’ll cope alone. Barbara won’t listen. Can a girl who doesn’t speak show them the way?



A powerful emotional page-turner about motherhood, friendship and family. Guaranteed to take your breath away. Perfect for fans of A Boy Made of Blocks, Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes.

Review by HeidiLynn's BookReviews

First, I want to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing this book so I may bring you this review.

Emma Robinson’s Where I Found You was an incredibly gripping, powerful, uplifting story of a mother’s love. This book is full of lots of drama, secrets, betrayal, infidelity, a lot of high emotions. However, in all that you get to meet a very sweet 3-year-old Ruby who will pull on your heart strings.

Kudos to the graphic designer who designed this cover. You definitely pulled on my heart strings and it made me curious to see what the book was about.

I am not a Mom but a very proud Auntie. I don’t know what I would do if my daughter could not talk at that age. Sara is one of the strongest characters in this book and my heart went out to her. I don’t know how I would have stayed that strong through all she was dealing with. I felt every emotion that Sara went through.  Everytime that Ruby learned something new like climbing up to go down the slide I smiled ear to ear.

In every book there seems to be one person I am not a fan of. In this book it was Sara’s husband. I wanted to smack him so hard! He is a boy not a man. Running away from responsibility cus he couldn’t handle it! Couldn’t face the truth about his daughter! Oh he upset me so!

This book started off a little on slow side for my liking. However, it has a shocking revelation that I never saw coming!!
