Publisher Description
A Father-Daughter Genealogy Team Link Present to Past on Family Trees
A trunk abandoned at Denver’s Union Station more than a century ago leads Jillian and Nolan to untangle the mystery of its contents—including correspondence with the head of Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency Denver office. While Nolan digs into the legalities of the findings, Jillian searches for the descendants of a stolen identity who might not be who they think they are on Colorado ranch land. When Drew seems anxious to hear what Jillian has to say but his Great Aunt Min slams the subject closed—twice—Jillian is all the more determined to find out what happened to the woman who never claimed her luggage, why Min doesn’t want to talk about it, and what will happen for Drew if he gets the answers he seeks.
When I Meet You is the third book in the Tree of Life series by Olivia Newport. You’ll want to return to the lovely Colorado mountain town of Canyon Mines again and again to explore and celebrate unforgettable family stories that will inspire you to connect with your own family histories and unique faith journeys.
Customer Reviews
WOW! This is an incredible duel-time novel!
I absolutely love the main characters in both time periods. They are all very well developed and have very different personalities.
Both of the plot lines are fantastic. I was completely sucked into the entire story. I knew from the beginning that they would connect with each other some way. I enjoyed seeing the early tidbits that were hints as to the connection. The author did a marvelous job of holding out on the reader until the final reveal though.

A steamer trunk abandoned.....
Every time I read another book is the Tree of Life series, I feel like I really should be finding out more about my DNA and the history of my family. Jillian is a genealogical researcher and her father Nolan is a lawyer who dabbles as a chef. Two fabulous old steamer trunks are at the center of this story. One belonged to Jillian’s mother and the other to an elusive person named Lynnelle Bendeure.
Why did Lynnelle abandon her trunk at Union Station in Denver, Colorado? What dire situation would cause one to leave one’s belongings behind.... and never retrieve them? These and many other questions plagued Jillian as she was requested to uncover the history by the curator of Owens House Museum in Denver. The methods used to ferret out information appeared far-fetched at times, and yet they seemed to bring results. I was quite enthralled by her findings and especially the outcome. I am certainly looking forward to what incredible finds will come with research into the trunk left so many years earlier by her mother.
