When I Meet You by Olivia Newport - A Book Review

  

I have truly enjoyed Olivia Newport's Tree of Life series, but his third book is by far my favorite. While it would work well as a stand-alone read, the reader will enjoy it more having familiarity with the main characters built by reading the first two books. In each book there is a contemporary story set in Canyon Mines, Colorado and a back story being researched by genealogist Jillian Parisi-Duffy, frequently assisted by her father, Nolan. The back story includes a mystery of sorts, one for which a genealogist is well suited.

Newport is a master of building relationships and community within her stories. Her main characters demonstrate care and selflessness, and bring out the best in others. I recommend this book, series, and author,and am grateful to have received a copy of When I Meet You from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and receive no monetary compensation.
