A search ... a phone call ... a journey home. Join author Eileen Mary Coyne Resta-née Marie Monique Comtois-as she discovers the family she never knew, and the mother who never gave up hope. Eileen Resta is a retired primary school Teacher and Reading Specialist with a Master's Degree in Literacy. Although reading and writing has been an integral part of her life for as long as she can remember, writing a memoir was unexpected. It was her experience as an adult adoptee seeking information about her biological background that led to unforeseen miraculous events and ultimately her decision to write this book. Eileen lives on Long Island, New York with her husband, Claude. Their children and grandchildren live nearby and this book provides the missing link in their family history. She enjoys traveling, hiking, boating, and cooking, but mostly she loves any time spent with her American and Canadian families.
