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.
My Review ❤️
Nolan and Jillian are back with another mystery from the past and again I am enamored. Every time I read a book in the Tree of Life series it makes me regret not choosing a different profession. I would love to do what Jillian does! Digging for clues, finding the keys that unlock the truths of the past, and bring people more understanding of who they are and where they come from. It is utterly beautiful and something that always makes me ache to find my own truths.
In When I Meet You Jillian and Nolan are asked to look into the story behind a steamer trunk that was abandoned at Union Station in 1909, while Jillian also digs further into her own mother's old steamer trunk, which history has haunted her for years. I love that all the books in this series can be read as standalones, but when you read them as a series you get to intimately know and understand Nolan, Jillian, and many of the colorful characters of Canyon Mines, and really become more vested in these incredible characters and the unique situations they find themselves in.
What made this novel a favorite for me was the imperfectness of Jillian. In the first two books in the series Jillian seems to have such a charmed life, but in this book you see that she's not perfect, and that she too is flawed and can make rash judgements, like we all can. I also fell in love with Drew, a new character that I hope will continue to be in the series from now on.
Another incredible addition to one of my favorite series to date!!
