When I Meet You is the third book in Olivia Newport’s
Tree of Life series. Genealogist Jillian Parisi-Duffy is presented with the
mystery of a trunk left at Denver’s Union Station over a hundred ago. Driven to
the point of obsession, Jillian is determined to find out what happened to its
owner, Lynnelle Bendeure. Did she meet with foul play? Why did she seemingly
disappear? At the same time, Jillian is confronted with a trunk her late mother
left behind for her, filled with her own maternal family history. Will she have
the courage to look further into her mother’s family as they left Sicily and
came to America? As a genealogist, she knows there may be something in her
family’s history she may not like but as her mother’s daughter, will she be
able to dig deeper?
I am thoroughly enjoying Ms. Newport’s Tree of Life series.
Just as with the first two books, Lynnelle’s story connects with something or
someone in the present. However, this time Jillian is confronted with the loss
of her mother when she was a young girl and kept putting off looking into her
mother’s trunk. Until the mystery of Lynnelle and her truck forced her finally
open it. I also like how the connection between the past and present isn’t
truly clear until the end. As a fan of genealogy and looking into my own family
tree, I love seeing the connection of past and present. To learn about people
who now are just names on a family tree. I look forward to future books in this
series. I highly recommend When I Meet You as well as books 1 and 2, The
Inn at Hidden Run and In the Cradle Lies.
