Olivia Newport Books

A trunk abandoned at Denver's Union Station more than a century ago leads Jillian and Nolan, a father-daughter genealogy team, to untangle the mystery of its contents -- including correspondence with the head of Pinkerton's National Detective Agency's 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. 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.

A Father-Daughter Genealogy Team Link Present to Past on Family Trees

On a solo ski vacation in Canyon Mines, Colorado, Tucker has a love-hate relationship with his wealth, spending indiscriminately while skiing fearlessly and preparing to conquer the overgrown slope of Hidden Run, a dangerous run not attempted in decades. As genealogist Jillian tries to uncover enough of Tucker's family tree to understand his charming nature but reckless resolve, Jillian's equally charming father, Nolan, cajoles Tucker into giving him ski lessons to get him talking about the suspicious circumstances surrounding his grandfather's life in St. Louis in the 1930s. On the surface, Tucker's family's history seems too perfect. The secret may lie in the sealed envelope Tucker carries with him at all times--even on the ski slope. When no one can find Tucker to tell him the fianc©♭e he never mentioned turned up in Canyon Mines, they realize he must be off attempting to ski Hidden Run alone in a snowstorm. And they may be too late. In the Cradle Lies is the second 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.
