Reseña del libro "My Silent Daughter: A gripping, powerful, uplifting story of a mother's love (en Inglés)"
'OMG! What a heartbreaking story... this is my absolute favourite book ever!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Breathing the warmth of you, watching your tiny chest rise and fall, my heart was full with pride. How could we have made something so perfect? 'Your mummy loves you, little girl, ' I whispered. 'I will keep you safe.' But I didn't, did I? And how can I ever forgive myself for that?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. And she and her husband work hard to give their daughter the happy family life she deserves.So when Sara's husband walks out on them without any warning, Sara's world falls apart. She can't imagine life without him. He was the only other person who could calm Ruby down, and who Sara could rely on to hold her in his arms and listen after a long, exhausting day of pleading with Ruby to eat, calm down, explain why she's crying.Without other family of her own, her mother-in-law, Barbara, is the only person Sara 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.Alongside dealing with her difficult mother-in-law, Sara is also juggling a new job and the emotional wrench of Ruby starting pre-school, all alone while her heart is breaking. It feels like a struggle to give Ruby the warm, stable home she deserves and Sara just can't see how she will cope alone. But then Ruby surprises them. Can a little girl who doesn't speak show both women 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.This novel was previously titled Where I Found You.Readers are loving My Silent Daughter: 'An uplifting masterpiece.
