The book “I Knew You Were There (A Stolen Child’s Search for Her Irish Mother)” is now available. It follows the story of Marie O’ Leary Wydra, who grew up in Ohio without knowing her birth mother because they were separated while in a mother and baby home in Ireland.
Marie’s mother, at age 28, was sent to one of these homes upon becoming pregnant.
The book tells the story of her childhood in the area and her search for her birth mother. No spoiler alerts here, folks! Pick up a copy and follow along and see (or read) for yourself what takes place.
