It took them a lifetime to find each other. But is love enough for two complete strangers to become mother and daughter? 

Ariella, a successful psychologist living in an upscale part of Israel, seems to have it all. Yet she’s still missing the one thing she’s always wanted – a child. Devastated after discovering she cannot have children of her own, Ariella is determined to do anything and bravely decides to adopt as a single mother.

Angie, a Ukrainian immigrant, has experienced more at thirteen than any teenager should have. Abandoned by her father and abused by her mother, she learns to trust no one. But after her mother dies in a car accident, Angie is left to fend for herself – a little girl in a foreign world.

On a chance visit to a boarding school for immigrant children, Ariella and Angie meet, and it seems like fate. They can’t believe they may have finally found the person they always needed. Though hesitant, they decide to take a risk on each other. It doesn’t take long before Ariella, an inexperienced mother who isn’t used to sharing her life, and Angie, a traumatized and free-spirited teen, clash. For the two, becoming a family means making enormous sacrifices. Can they find enough courage to let the other in?

Based on a true story, The Day I Found You is a heart-wrenching testimony to the power of resilience, love, and unlikely families, perfect for fans of Lisa Wingate and Kate Hewitt.
